The Torch Theatre, Milford Haven is asking all schools who attend its festive pantomime of Jack and the Beanstalk to enter the ‘Magic Bean’ competition. Each school attending the Torch Theatre’s pantomime this year will be given a bag of beans to plant and grow their very own beanstalk in 2025.
The Torch wants to see which schools are up for the challenge of growing the tallest beanstalk! And of course, there’s a grand prize available for the winning school. They will have the company of Tim Howe – Senior Manager Youth and Community for a whole day of creative fun or Teacher Training worth £500! It’s up to them to decide.
“This is just a great competition where every school pupil can get involved and see the beans grow. All we ask is that the schools share regular updates with us via social media with the hashtag #torchpanto #pantotorch. What school will have the tallest bean plant I wonder?” said Tim, who will be growing his very own bean plant in the Torch Theatre foyer.
He added: “The pupils will need to water and look after the beans as they grow and who knows, we could have a world record breaker and have the tallest bean plant in the county or even the world! I may be bias, but the prize is priceless, and there might be a mystery bonus prize too!”
Hosting this competition wouldn’t be possible without the kind donation of the beans from David Charles at Elder Meadows Nursery in Hubberston. David says that it’s important that children learn about how vegetables are grown.
David added: “It is very important in this day and age to teach children how to grow their own in order to subsidise their food budget in adulthood. It is also important that children should also be taught how to cook in order to move away from processed food. The children will have fun taking part in the challenge of growing the biggest beanstalk.”
Jack and the Beanstalk will feature on the Torch Theatre stage from Fri 13 Dec - Sun 29 Dec 2024 with matinee and evening performances. Ticket prices: £23.50 | £19.50 Cons | £75.00 Family. Relaxed Environment Performance on Saturday 14 December at 2pm. BSL Performance - Tuesday 17 December at 6pm.
