Relaxed

Fri 2 Jan 2026 2pm
A relaxed performance and is adapted for those with learning disabilities and other sensory and communication needs. Relaxed performances are also a great way to introduce little ones to panto. We make small adjustments to the technical aspects of the show so it is a gentler experience. The volume is slightly lower and some special effects such as strobe lighting are removed. The production may still contain haze, some use of low fog and some lighting effects. To provide a more relaxed and supportive atmosphere, the house lights remain partially lit and the doors to the auditorium remain open. Safe spaces are made available in other areas of the venue for those who may want to take a break from the performance.

Jack and the Beanstalk Pantomime
Fee-Fi-Fo-Fun! Jack and the Beanstalk is coming to Chesterfield!
This year’s Chesterfield Theatres pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk, is set to be a GIANT adventure – starring BBC One’s Gladiator Giant!
Follow Jack as he trades his cow for a handful of magic beans, climbs up to Cloud Land, faces the fearsome giant, and tries to save the village (and win the Princess’s heart along the way!).
Taking on the mighty role of The Giant is Jamie Christian – known to millions as the duelling Giant from the smash hit BBC Saturday night show. And our line-up of panto contenders are ready to take on the challenge of good over evil!
Joining Jamie on stage will be:
Comedian Patrick Monahan as Simon Trott
Magician Nicholas Lee as Fleshcreep
Rachel O’Hare as the Spirit of Cloudland
TV favourite John Lyons (A Touch of Frost) as King Crumble
Simon Howe as the fabulous Dame Trott
Lewis Burrage as our hero Jack
And just announced, flying in from LA and the world-premiere of One For My Baby, is Charlotte Scally as our pantomime princess.
Packed with laughter, music, magic, and mayhem, this is the festive family treat you won’t want to miss at the Winding Wheel Theatre.
Book your tickets today before they vanish faster than magic beans!
