Outdoor Theatre: Wind in the Willows

“Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing – absolutely nothing – half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats…”

Spring is in the air and Mole has found a wonderful new world. There's boating with Ratty, a feast with Badger and high jinx on the open road with that reckless ruffian, Mr Toad.  What more could such firm friends wish for? But after Toad's latest escapade, can they join together and beat the wretched weasels?

From Quantum Theatre, this heart-warming adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's classic tale will be an adventure for the whole family. Grab a blanket and a picnic and join Mole, Badger and Ratty for an afternoon of friendship, mishap and mayhem!
