The Wind in the Willows by Illyria

Join Mole, Rat, Badger, and Toad on a whimsical journey through the English countryside, where friendship and mischief lead to unexpected adventures!

  • Booking essential

Mole yearns to explore the wide world. Gruff old Badger enjoys peace and quiet. And Rat likes picnics and just messing about in boats. Their idyllic lives on the Riverbank are turned upside down when Toad, bewitched by the roar of an engine and the screech of burning tyres, pursues his latest in a long line of extravagant obsessions: a fast, red motor-car. Multiple award-winning Illyria celebrates Kenneth Grahame’s timeless tale of friendship, laughter, the longing for home and the lure of adventure.

This is outdoor theatre at its best in the Paddock of Canons Ashby – bring a picnic, rugs or picnic chairs and wrap up warm!

This event will go ahead whatever the weather, unless it’s unsafe to do so. Please dress for the weather, whatever it brings.

The shop and Tack-Room will be open until 5pm. The Tack-Room will re-open during the interval.

Pre-booking essential, £18 adults (18+), £10 children (3-17), under 2s years free.
