Outdoor Theatre: The Wind in the Willows in aid of the Calvert Trust

"Timid Mole yearns to explore the wide world. Gruff old Badger enjoys peace and quiet. Rat likes summer picnics and messing about in boats. Then Toad announces his latest in a long line of extravagant obsessions: a gypsy caravan - and their idyllic lives on the Riverbank are turned upside down.

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 at the same time, help him evict the stoats and weasels who have taken over his ancestral pile?"

Multiple award-winning Illyria Theatre celebrates Kenneth Grahame’s timeless tale of friendship, laughter, the longing for home and the lure of adventure.

As always, this event is raising funds for the wonderful Calvert Trust - a charitable foundation that provides residential breaks for those with a range of disabilities.

Tickets are available from Illyria Outdoor Theatre and range from £0.00 (children under five) to £19.51 for adults. £54.20 for a family of two adults, two children.

Bring something to sit on, something to eat and plenty of rainweather gear (or who knows, factor 50). Well behaved dogs on leads welcome. Snacks and drinks will be on sale at the Lowther Café.
