About the Event

Performances occur on grassy grounds; attendees should bring their own blankets as seating is not supplied. Doors open one hour before showtime begins. Gather Ratty, Mole, Badger, Otter, Portly, and Mr Toad for Kenneth Grahame's timeless tale of life by the riverbank brought to live theatre. This highly regarded outdoor stage production features music, songs, and laughter throughout. Children and adults alike enjoy as Head Chief Rabbit turns audience members into rabbits with a wiggle of ears and nose movement. Young rabbit participants are invited to join in the action, given ample chances to shout, sing along, and become part of the adventure. With jokes and surprises for both kids and grown-ups, this is interactive theatre at its finest. After more than 35 years in Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens and two decades in Sydney's Royal Botanic Garden, The Wind in the Willows remains Australia's most cherished affordable family entertainment experience.
