Kid Carpet brings a brilliantly bonkers Christmas show to Wolverhampton Arts Centre

Sunday 6 December 2026 | 11am & 2pm

This Christmas, Wolverhampton Arts Centre welcomes a panto like no other as Jack & The Beanstalk (Sort Of!) takes to the stage on Sunday 6 December, with performances at 11am and 2pm.

Presented by Half Moon, this Kid Carpet & The Noisy Animals production promises a loud, silly and completely off-its-beanstalk adventure for the whole family.

Kid Carpet hates panto. The Noisy Animals absolutely love it. So guess what they’re doing? Yep. A panto. Now there’s a beanstalk in the middle of everything and nobody’s quite sure what’s going on.

Featuring Bear, Gorilla, Badger and Hedgehog (with possible appearances from Hedgehog’s golden eggs), this is Jack & the Beanstalk like it’s been thrown in a blender with a drum machine and dodgy celebrity lookalikes. Part air guitar workshop, part magical mess, this lo-fi, hi-tech, big-beat bonkers show is stuffed with songs, silliness and surprise grannies.

Perfect for children aged 3–10 and their families, it’s a Christmas theatre treat that’s anything but traditional.
