Pantomime In Manchester
Climb up into the clouds and seek the magic beans, because this year's Manchester panto is the tallest of tales, Jack and the Beanstalk. This glittering Christmas treat, starring comedian Jason Manford, is gigantic fun and promises laughs, music, incredible special effects and more at the Opera House Theatre.
Manchester’s pantomime tradition stretches all the way back to the late 1800s, and has been an annual fixture at the Opera House since the early 2000s, with stars including Warwick Davis, Les Dennis and even Torvill and Dean appearing in recent years. An afternoon of hilarious panto is the perfect accompaniment to a visit to Manchester's famous Christmas Markets, which stretch from Piccadilly Gardens and King Street all the way to Cathedral Square.
