Jack and the Beanstalk (Adult's Only) at the King’s Head Theatre

Jack and the Beanstalk (Adult’s Only) at the King’s Head Theatre

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] We’ve been to a lot of pantomimes over the last few years! They seem like such a classic, Christmastime activity and here we love seasonal events. Dann and I, however, have never been to an adult’s only panto. Pantomimes are known for their cheeky humor and innuendos, however, this was a few steps beyond that. Instead of cheeky humor, it was full of crude jokes, audience participation, and some of the classic panto moments that you’d expect.

Simple Comforts That Make Winter Better

Winter can slow everything down, making the days shorter, the evenings stretch longer, and suddenly the little things matter more than they did before.

While summer often encourages us to be out and about, winter invites us to turn inward, finding comfort in routines, warmth, and familiarity.

The reality is that enjoying winter isn’t about grand changes, but about embracing simple comforts that can loosen the strain on everyday life and allow you to find the colder season more enjoyable.
