The Wind in the Willows at the Botanic Gardens

Join Ratty, Mole, Badger, Otter, Portly and Mr Toad as they bring to life Kenneth Grahame’s immortal story of life on the riverbank. This critically acclaimed outdoor theatre production delivers music, songs and laughs.

There is fun for young and old as the Head Chief Rabbit transforms the audience into rabbits with a waggle of the ears and a wiggle of the nose. The young ‘rabbits’ are encouraged to get involved in the action and are given every opportunity to scream out loud, sing along and become part of the adventure.

With laughs and surprises for children and adults, this is interactive theatre at its best. The Wind in the Willows is Australia’s best-loved affordable family entertainment, so pack a picnic, pack the kids and join in the fun.
