Families looking to celebrate the festive season in Telford will once again find the annual pantomime at the Telford International Centre. The production of Jack and the Beanstalk will run from Tuesday 15 December 2026 through Saturday 2 January 2027.
This move from the traditional Telford Theatre in Oakengates is necessary while the building undergoes a major refurbishment. The project, overseen by Telford & Wrekin Council and supported by national government funding, began in 2024 and is expected to be complete by winter 2026.
The show, produced by Shone Productions, includes a variety of performances for the community. School groups can attend between Tuesday 15 December and Thursday 17 December 2026. The general public can attend from opening night on 17 December, with tickets for that first performance priced at £19 for all seats. Additionally, an adult-only performance is set for Sunday 27 December 2026 at 8pm, with tickets available for £32.
Attendees should be aware that the Telford International Centre operates as a cashless venue. Visitors will need to use cards for any refreshments and for the £2.70 parking fee. This year’s production marks a milestone for the town, as it celebrates 20 years of pantomime in Telford.
