'Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum...'
Christmas is fast approaching in the cold, barren North. There's no magic to be found here. Or is there?
When Mam desperately sends Jack to sell the family cow at the market, trading her for a bag of magic beans isn't exactly what she had in mind. Anyway there's no such thing as magic beans! Trouble begins to grow...
Come with Jack as he embarks on a journey of giant proportions to help Mam and to spark magic back into their lives in time for Christmas!
A magical Christmas show for all the family filled with puppets, original music and festive fun.
From Kitchen Zoo the makers of Hey Diddle Diddle and The Three Bears.
Moo along!
