What’s The Wind in the Willows About?

Based on Kenneth Grahame’s beloved classic, this heartwarming tale follows timid Mole, peace-loving Badger, fun-loving Rat, and the wildly unpredictable Toad as they navigate friendship, adventure, and Toad’s latest obsession — from gypsy caravans to roaring motorcars.

As Toad’s antics spiral out of control, his loyal friends band together to teach him a little restraint and reclaim his ancestral home from the mischievous stoats and weasels. Expect laughter, excitement, and a big dose of British countryside charm.
