You will need coins or a contactless card to pay to park here. A stay of three hours costs £4.20. After 6pm it is free to park here.

It has 16 disabled spaces and 11 parent and child spaces on level three. It costs £4.20 to park here for three hours. You pay when you collect your car. The Jubilee Car Park closes at 11pm weekdays. It is a ten minute level walk to Harrogate Theatre. For more information on this car park please visit www.harrogate.gov.uk . It can be very busy in Harrogate so you need to allow enough time to find a space to park. The main doors to Harrogate Theatre are accessible. Just push the silver button on the wall to open the doors. Once inside, you will find our Box Office on the left-hand side. This is where you can book and collect tickets for the show. Our staff will be happy to help you. There is a small shop on the right-hand side. The shop sells programmes, sweets, crisps and soft drinks. You can take these items into the auditorium. It is best to arrive early for the show to have enough time to collect your tickets, go to the toilet and get settled in your seat before the show starts. Our foyer area gets very busy during show times so you can expect there to be lots of people around. It may be quite noisy. There are Christmas garlands and fairy lights decorating the theatre with a beanstalk wrapping around the tree and hanging from the ceiling on the circle level. Both the Stalls and Circle bars sells hot and cold drinks, alcoholic and soft drinks as well as sweets, ice-creams and crisps. The Stalls bar is the quietest. You will be able to watch the performance on live feeds from each of the bars if you don’t like being in the auditorium. Harrogate Theatre and our facilities The Relaxed Performance of Jack and the Beanstalk will take place in the Main Auditorium. It is a large theatre with 500 seats across three levels; stalls, circle and balcony. For Relaxed Performances we only open the stalls and the circle. We sell around 200 seats. There are two sets of stairs you can use to get to the stalls. One of our ushers will tell you which set of stairs is best to use to get to your seat. There is a disabled toilet on the stalls level. It is an adapted toilet and also has baby change facilities. The Main Auditorium will open 45 minutes before the show is due to start. There may be a queue to get in. On your tickets you will find your row and seat number. Our ushers will help you find your seat. You can find your seat as early as you like. If you prefer to wait until the show is about to start, you can go in within a few minutes of the show starting. There will be regular announcements through our tannoy system to let you know how long you have left to take your seat before the show starts. You can bring cold drinks in plastic cups into the theatre. Hot drinks are not allowed in the auditorium. In the stalls we have booster seats available to give a bit more height on the theatre seats for smaller children. These are found at the back of the auditorium. Stalls Level To reach the stalls level, there is level access via Cheltenham Parade (a two minute walk from the main entrance and is partially sloped) or via two staircases; one has 13 steep steps and the other has 11 steps that have a more gradual decline. If you need to use the level access entrance please tell Box Office you are here first and they will send someone to open the door for you. There are adapted spaces for wheelchairs on this level. They are at the back of the Main Auditorium on a raised flat level platform. We can accommodate four wheelchairs, two on either side of the Sound Desk. One wheelchair can be seated with two carers as we have two moveable theatre chairs. For Relaxed Performances there are plenty of seats kept free, so that if you want to move around, you can. This also means that if you need to leave the theatre at any point you can come back in and sit in a free seat rather than returning to your original seats, if that is easier. There will be two quiet areas if you need some time in a quieter space – one in the Stalls bar and one in the Circle bar (upstairs). There will be a live feed of the show in both bars so you can still see and hear what is going on onstage. Before the show starts, please make sure you have turned off your mobile phone and please don’t take photos or film during the show. The Show The first half of the show lasts for 1 hour 15 minutes. There will be one interval (break) of 20 minutes. The second half of the show lasts for 1 hour. Jack and the Beanstalk is a story you may be familiar. When you come into the auditorium you will see a front cloth with a sign which says Jack and the Beanstalk on it. As the show is about to start you will hear an announcement telling you to turn off your phones. During the show there are lots of opportunities to join in by clapping along to the songs, by shouting out catchphrases or by booing and hissing the evil villain, Fleshcreep. The actors will make it clear when you can do this. During the rest of the show it is best if everyone in the audience stays as quiet as possible, so everyone can hear the actors. Because this is a Relaxed Performance, we won’t mind at all if you make some noise or move around. It’s important that you don’t go onto the stage before, during or after the show. The actors won’t ask you to come on stage. When the show starts the lights will fade and music will start to play. There are lots of songs in Jack and the Beanstalk and sometimes it can be quite loud. If you don’t like loud noises, you could bring ear defenders or ear plugs with you. Characters In our show there are eight actors playing ten roles and four dancers. Dame Tilly Trott Dame Trott is Jack and Simon’s mum. She works in the dairy. The Dame character is a man dressed up as a woman. Simon Simon is Dame Trott’s son and Jack’s brother. He loves sport. King Bumble King Bumble is Jill’s father. He is a keen gardener and is Dame Trott’s landlord. Princess Jill Princess Jill is King Bumble’s daughter. She is Jack’s best friend and she has a crush on Simon. Jack Jack, or Jacqueline to use her full name, is Dame Trott’s daughter and Simon’s sister. She is also Princess Jill’s best friend but King Bumble doesn’t like her. Jack is desperate for an adventure. Fleshcreep Fleshcreep is the villain. He is the King’s evil twin. He has gone to work for Giant Blunderbore who has been banished to the clouds. Buttercup Buttercup is Dame Trott’s cow and works in the dairy. Giant Blunderbore Giant Blunderbore has been banished to the clouds because he ate Morag’s husband, who was an inventor, and stole the golden harp and the magic hen. Morag Morag was married to the inventor of the golden harp and the magic hen. When Giant Blunderbore ate him, he captured Morag, the harp and the hen and kept them in his castle. Fairy of the Forest The Fairy introduces us to the story and uses her magic to help Jack save the day. The next section tells you about what will happen onstage during the show. Act One First, we meet the Fairy of the Forest. She tells us the story of how Giant Blunderbore was banished to the castle in the sky for stealing the golden harp and the magic hen and eating the inventor who had created them. While in the sky he has stolen all the clouds making it very hot on earth. The Fairy tells us that there is someone on earth who will be able to save the day with her help. The scene changes to the hot streets of the village outside Dame Trott’s cottage. They dance to Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves. After the song we meet Fleshcreep for the first time. Fleshcreep tells the Fairy that he now works for Giant Blunderbore and he is going to help him take control of the kingdom and everyone in it. Fairy tells him that she has found a brave woman called Jacqueline, or Jack for short, to defeat him and Giant Blunderbore Here is Simon. Simon loves sport.

One morning, Barky gave no milk. She had become old. Jack’s mother was worried. Without milk, they would see horrible times. Title: Jack and the Beanstalk Page: 1 “What will we do?” she wondered. “Maybe we should sell Barky. The money could help us buy food,” suggested Jack. “Good idea, Jack. Go to the market, and see how much you could get for her,” she replied. Jack had not gotten very far when his old neighbor, Mr. Bones, approached him. “Hi, Jack,” Mr. Bones said. “Where are you going?” Title: Jack and the Beanstalk Page: 2 “I’m going to the market to sell Barky,” said Jack. “I don’t see a dog,” said Mr. Bones. “Well, I really wanted a dog. But we couldn’t afford one, so I named the cow Barky,” explained Jack. “Interesting. My dog’s name is Moo,” said Mr. Bones. “Is that because you always wanted a cow?” asked Jack. “Yes. In fact, I want your cow. So let’s make a deal. I’ll give you five beans for your cow,” answered Mr. Bones. “I don’t really like beans,” frowned Jack.

    ; KOERNER S HAVES BY BUFFALO N Vv ! = \A #1 t : 4 ¢ Jack the Giant=Killer. The Giant Stepped on Jack’s Trap and Fell Headlong into the Pit. [° the days of the renowned King Arthur there lived a Cornishman named Jack, who was famous for his valiant deeds. His bold and warlike spirit showed itself in his boyish days; for Jack took especial delight in listening to the wonderful tales of giants and fairies, and of the extraordinary feats of valor displayed by the knights of King Arthur’s Round Table, which his father would sometimes relate. Jack’s spirit was so fired by these strange accounts, that he determined, if ever he became a man, that he would destroy some of the cruel giants who infested the land. Not many miles from his father’s house there lived, on the top of St. Michael’s Mount, a huge giant, who was the terror of the country round, who was named Cormoran, from his voracious appetite. It is said that he was eighteen feet in height. When he required food, he came down from his castle, and, seizing on the flocks of the poor people, would throw half a dozen oxen over his shoulders, and suspend as many sheep as he could carry, and stalk back to his castle. He had carried on these depredations many years ; and the poor Cornish people were well-nigh ruined. Jack went by night to the foot of the mount and dug a very deep pit, which he covered with sticks and straw, and over which he strewed the earth.

  • Volume One: Arthur and the History of Jack and the Giants
    The Arthuriad – Volume One CONTENTS ARTICLE 1 Jack & Arthur: An Introduction to Jack the Giant-Killer DOCUMENTS 5 The History of Jack and the Giants (1787) 19 The 1711 Text of The History of Jack and the Giants 27 Jack the Giant Killer: a c. 1820 Penny Book 32 Some Arthurian Giant-Killings Jack & Arthur: An Introduction to Jack the Giant-Killer Caitlin R. Green The tale of Jack the Giant-Killer is one that has held considerable fascination for English readers. The combination of gruesome violence, fantastic heroism and low cunning that the dispatch of each giant involves gained the tale numerous fans in the eighteenth century, including Dr Johnson and Henry Fielding.1 It did, indeed, inspire both a farce2 and a ‘musical entertainment’3 in the middle of that century. However, despite this popularity the actual genesis of Jack and his tale remains somewhat obscure. The present collection of source materials is provided as an accompaniment to my own study of the origins of The History of Jack and the Giants and its place within the wider Arthurian legend, published as ‘Tom Thumb and Jack the Giant-Killer: Two Arthurian Fairy Tales?’, Folklore, 118.2 (2007), pp. 123-40. The curious thing about Jack is that – in contrast to that other fairy-tale contemporary of King Arthur’s, Tom Thumb – there is no trace of him to be found before the early eighteenth century. The first reference to him comes in 1708 and the earliest known (now lost) chapbook to have told of his deeds was dated 1711.4 He does not appear in Thackeray’s catalogue of chapbooks

To hear about our latest releases subscribe to the Planet PDF Newsletter. The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood PREFACE FROM THE AUTHOR TO THE READER You who so plod amid serious things that you feel it shame to give yourself up even for a few short moments to mirth and joyousness in the land of Fancy; you who think that life hath nought to do with innocent laughter that can harm no one; these pages are not for you. Clap to the leaves and go no farther than this, for I tell you plainly that if you go farther you will be scandalized by seeing good, sober folks of real history so frisk and caper in gay colors and motley that you would not know them but for the names tagged to them. Here is a stout, lusty fellow with a quick temper, yet none so ill for all that, who goes by the name of Henry II. Here is a fair, gentle lady before whom all the others bow and call her Queen Eleanor. Here is a fat rogue of a fellow, dressed up in rich robes of a clerical kind, that all the good folk call my Lord Bishop of Hereford. Here is a certain fellow with a sour temper and a grim look— the worshipful, the Sheriff of Nottingham. And here, above all, is a great, tall, merry fellow that roams the greenwood and joins in homely sports, and sits beside the Sheriff at merry feast, which same beareth the 2 of 493 The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood name of the proudest of the Plantagenets—Richard of the Lion’s Heart.

  • Maggie's Civics Corner
    Maggie’s Civics Corner Lesson 16 Maggie Says... Today’s lesson is about Leaders and Heroes. As a dog, I have many heroes in my life. The crossing guard who makes my walk safe is one of my heroes. Thinking about today’s world, I would put all of the doctors, nurses, and first- responders on my list of heroes. Sticky Situation: I love when someone reads to me. One of my favorite fairy tales is Jack and the Beanstalk. I have listened to that fairy tale many times. Every time I hear it, I wonder if Jack is a hero or a villain. Read the story below. After reading or hearing the story, do you think Jack is a hero or a villain. Be prepared to support your point of view. Jack and the Beanstalk Jack is a very poor young boy who lives in a forest with his mother. Jack and his mother have a cow. It is the cow’s milk that provides them with most of what they have to eat or drink. One day, the cow no longer is able to give milk. Jack’s mom decides that Jack should take the cow to market and sell it in exchange for money and food. As Jack starts off toward the market, he meets a man who offers him beans, magic beans, that the man says will grow very, very tall in only one night. Jack decides to give the man the cow in exchange for the magic beans. When Jack arrives home, he tells his mother what he has done, expecting her to be as excited as he is.

  • Jack the Beanstalk
    IMAGINATION CREATIVITY INNOVATION COSTUME DESIGN FOR JACK AND THE BEANSTALK FALL 2017 VOLUME IX, NUMBER 2 Jack & The Beanstalk Mother Harp Giant McKenzie Kiser and Allyson Mitchell, theatre majors at UVU, designed the costumes, set pieces, and props for our production of Jack and the Beanstalk. The design inspiration for the production is children’s backyard play. Children are natural theatre-makers and transform the places in which they play into imaginary worlds and use objects they find to enhance their dramas. They often work out conflicts in their lives through creative play. The backgrounds are designed to be ambivalent. They might represent a suburban house and a cinder block fence or they may seem to be, as a child would imagine them, a country cottage and a castle wall. A ladder and a couple of hoses become the beanstalk. Likewise, the costumes might be things that people would wear in a modern backyard or they may seem like what children would imagine people wearing long ago. Jack’s mother is dressed in what his own mother might wear in the garden. The harp’s costume extends and exaggerates the fringe someone might have on a jacket. The hands of the giant and giantess are made extra large with loose gardening In this Issue: gloves and the cow’s udder is suggested by a pink glove. In creative play, children start with what they see and enhance it with their imaginations.

  • Jack and the Beanstalk Once Upon a Time There Was a Boy Called Jack
    Jack and the Beanstalk Once upon a time there was a boy called Jack. Jack lived in a cottage with his mother. They were very poor and their most valuable possession was a cow. One day, Jack’s mother asked him to take the cow to market to sell. On the way, Jack met a man who gave him some magic beans in exchange for the cow. When Jack came home with the beans his mother was angry. She threw the beans out of the window and sent him to bed. The next morning, Jack looked out of the window. A giant beanstalk had grown in the garden! Jack decided to climb the beanstalk. It was so tall it went right up to the sky and through the clouds. When Jack finally reached the top, he saw an enormous castle. Jack decided to go inside; all the furniture was huge! Suddenly, Jack heard a loud noise. He ran into a cupboard to hide. An enormous giant came into the room. “Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman!” he bellowed. The giant sat down at the table. On the table was a hen and a golden harp. “Lay!” said the giant. The hen laid an egg; it was made out of solid gold. “Sing!” said the giant. The harp sang; the giant fell asleep. Jack jumped out of the cupboard and took the hen and the harp. As Jack ran the harp cried, “Help master!” The giant woke up and called, “Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman!” He chased Jack to the top of the beanstalk.
