The Wind in the Willows

Friday 6 June 2025 & Sunday 31 August 2025
  • Waresley Park Estate, SG19 3DD
Buy tickets

Timid Mole yearns to explore the wide world. Gruff old Badger enjoys peace and quiet. Rat likes summer picnics and just messing about in boats…

Their idyllic lives on the Riverbank are turned upside down when Toad announces his latest in a long line of extravagant obsessions: a gypsy caravan. Generous Toad. Exciting Toad. Only-A-Tiny-Bit-Boastful Toad. The Riverbankers console themselves with the fact that he cannot possibly get any worse – until, bewitched by the roar of a motor-car and the screech of burning tyres, he does. The other animals resolve to save him from himself – but can they teach him even a jot of restraint AND help him evict the opportunistic stoats and weasels who have taken over his ancestral pile?

Multiple award-winning Illyria celebrates Kenneth Grahame’s timeless tale of friendship, laughter, the longing for home and the lure of adventure. Enjoy it all summer across the UK where the story is set: in the great British outdoors.

Running time (approx): 1hr 40min (inc 20 minute interval)
Suitable for ages 5+ (younger children also welcome).

Picnics are welcome. Please be advised that guests are not permitted to bring alcohol onsite. There will be a bar on the night for all drink purchases.
