We are so excited to have started rehearsals for none other than the classic…

🌳 THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS 🌳

Meet the well-loved characters of Toad, Mole, Ratty and Badger in this adaptation by John Morley who has woven their exploits into an exciting adventure story for all the family. Follow Toad’s addiction to caravanning and cars, his imprisonment and escape with the aid of Jenny and her washerwoman aunts, and his fight with the Weasels and Stoats to regain Toad Hall!


The Box Office is now open.

Huge thanks to Dave Hawkins for his original illustration of Toad in his motor car!
