Join us as we tell the tale of The Wind in the Willows, from “Hang Spring Cleaning”, to boats, gypsy caravans, and of course – “poop poop…” – a few cars.

Mike Kenny’s cheerful adaptation of Kenneth Grahame’s classic children’s story sets our stage in the ruins of Toad Hall on the day it is to be sold.  Mole, Ratty, Badger and Toad reminisce about tales of years gone by and bring the events of this much loved story to life.

Tired of spring-cleaning, Mole leaves Mole End and ventures out to the riverbank, where he befriends the resourceful Ratty, the gruff Badger and the infamous Toad of Toad Hall.  Together they explore the Wide World, and the Wild Wood, but can they keep Toad out of trouble?

Presented by Leeds Children’s Theatre, by Kenneth Grahame and adapted by Mike Kenny. This amateur production of The Wind in the Willows (Grahame/Kenny) is presented by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
