The Wind in the Willows - Melbourne

The show unfolds on an open lawn where attendees must bring their own seating such as blankets or chairs. Access to the venue begins one hour before the scheduled start time. Audiences gather to witness Ratty, Mole, Badger, Otter, Portly, and Mr Toad perform Kenneth Grahame's beloved tale set along a riverside. This highly regarded outdoor theatrical experience features musical numbers, songs, and humor. The production engages both children and adults as the Head Chief Rabbit invites everyone to transform into rabbits through ear wags and nose twitches. Young performers are encouraged to participate actively in the scenes, shouting, singing, and joining the adventure on stage. Laughs and unexpected moments await all ages, making this interactive theatre experience exceptional. The Wind in the Willows has celebrated over 35 years at Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens and 20 years at Sydney's Royal Botanic Garden as Australia's most popular affordable family entertainment.
