Please note that this is a relaxed performance (Autism friendly) dedicated to Spectrum only and not the general public. You are welcome to invite friends and family to join you. We will also be looking to implement a Meet & Greet with some of the cast.

No transport is provided to the venue on the day but free local parking is available close by in several locations.

Join us for an epic adventure high above the clouds. as KD Theatre Productions return to The Maltings, Ely, for their 13th Spectacular Pantomime season with ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’.

Join Jack, Dame Trott and a host of colourful characters as they try to save their beloved family farm from the clutches of the greedy Giant Blunderbore.

Packed with spectacular sets, dazzling costumes, catchy songs, and all the ingredients of a family show that KD Theatre Productions are famous for, this is the perfect festive treat for audiences of all ages.

The show lasts approx. 2hrs with an interval.

We always contact every request once the event is processed and allocated, providing families with as much notice as possible.

Event Costs

The cost of going to Jack & The Beanstalk with us is £20.00 per person (adult & child). All persons must pay an initial non-refundable deposit of £5 per person, which is due in all circumstances.

Your payment can be made by bank transfer or online card payment (+ booking fee) as you prefer. We will provide all the details that you need for this within your invoice. No refunds are possible after the deadline date.

As always, we will look to rotate places for the event if there is high demand to ensure there is a good mix of families attending for the first time as well as those that have enjoyed Panto season with us previously.

Due to the venue’s requirements, the payment cut-off date for this event will be October 1st, 2025. We will hand back any tickets that have not been allocated to the venue.

If you have any questions regarding this event, please don’t hesitate to contact us at events@spectrum.org.uk

Event Payment Options

Pay in full or over time

As well as having the option to pay by BACS or Card/ApplePay/GooglePay, please remember that your event/session invoices don’t have to be paid all in one go, or straightway (unless after our deadline date has passed).

We know how tough it can be for families with so many things to juggle so we make it as flexible as we possibly can, with payment deadline dates pushed into the future as much as we can.

You can also make bank transfers as and when you wish, as long as the balance is complete by the payment deadline date. This could be monthly, or ad-hoc and you can always see how much you have left on our live invoices. We can also provide split/scheduled payments by card.

Our Place Request Process

  • Once place requests are checked and processed, should we be able to confirm places for you, you will be notified in the first instance by text message.
  • We recommend saving the numbers 07822 013562 (WhatsApp) and our Text Alert number 07441 446910 to your phone for our notifications. We also send messages from a dedicated Spectrum named service.
  • After confirmation, you will receive two invoices from us(initial non-refundable deposit and final balance).
  • The initial deposit is due in all circumstances without exception and needs to be paid within 14 days.
  • The remaining balance of your booking needs to be paid by the deadline date stated for the event.
  • All balance payments can be cancelled up to the deadline date, but remain due and non-refundable after it.
  • The costs at the deadline date are what Spectrum is exposed to for your booking, so cancel before this point!
  • You can pay for these by bank transfer or by card online, or by using ApplePay or GooglePay.
  • Your QR code (e-ticket) for the event (how you sign in with us) is typically sent around within the 48 hours before the event. This also includes a final reminder of the notes and timings from this page.

Non-Payment & Non-Cancellation

We totally appreciate that plans can change, health can change, emergencies can happen, and life can get in the way when you least expect it to, especially as parents, carers and guardians of children with additional needs, but we cannot emphasise enough how important it is to stay in touch with the team when it comes to bookings.

We understand that such things can happen and that they can definitely be hard to talk about at times, we always try to help the families we support as much as we can. Sometimes, this sadly just won’t be possible, but we will certainly try if there is a path to do so. All we ask is that you stay in touch and just be honest with us, it is so much easier to help you this way.

Please do bear in mind that non-payment of invoices or not communicating with us about items, tickets etc we have purchased for you in a timely manner will have adverse impact across the board. As a small childrens charity we have to be incredibly careful with funds and items not being paid for has huge impact on us and will simply prevent future events from happening, as we are not able to absorb losses of that nature.

We leave payments for all events and sessions open as long as possible to help families, but at the same time, we have commitments and deadlines to the venues we work with, which we must adhere to, or lose such opportunities.

Please remember that the following steps can occur if you don’t pay invoices or inform us.

  • Any invoice/payment outstanding at the deadline is at risk of cancellation and impacting you
  • You can see your places cancelled for the event/session, and a cancellation notice will be sent to you.
  • You will no longer be able to access ANY of our events, sessions or the Max Card
  • Your membership with us can be suspended or permanently revoked
  • Spectrum reserves the right to pass outstanding invoices for commercial/legal collection, and additional charges can occur
  • Additionally, Spectrum has a zero tolerance for any kind of behaviour/communication that is deemed to be rude/abusive – our team are also parents of children with additional needs and volunteer their time.

Please Stay in Touch!

As always if you have any questions about any aspect of of our events, the payment process, or cancellations email us at events@spectrum.org.uk and we will be happy to see where we can help!

Health Protection

Due to the nature of the children we support, a person can’t attend our events whilst ill.

This guidance is in line with the Health Protection Agency and similar to that of many local schools. We can’t accept a person at an event or session with sickness/diarrhoea until they have been clear of this for a minimum of 48 hours. Additionally, it is not possible to accept a person with any symptoms of Covid-19.

We hope you can understand our position on this and the caution that we must exercise.
