Wind in the Willows

The Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne

Join Ratty, Mole, Badger, Otter, Portly, and, of course, Mr Toad as they bring Kenneth Grahame's immortal story of life on the riverbank to the stage 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. Celebrating 40 years in the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, The Wind in the Willows is Australia's best-loved affordable family entertainment. ‍This is a picnic seating event, and patrons are welcome to bring any food or drinks that you would like as well as picnic blankets, wet weather gear, and sun protection. Please note that The Wind in the Willows is an interactive show and will move to different locations throughout the performance.‍
