15th-18th July – Orchard Dene Garden Theatre
By Kenneth Grahame, Adapted by Alan Bennett.
Our online box office is open (https://www.blewburyplayers.co.uk/wind-in-the-willows-2026); tickets: Adult £17, child £9.
Come and enjoy the exploits and adventures of Toad and his friends Ratty, Mole and Badger. Will his friends be able to steer the motor-car-obsessed Toad away from his reckless behaviour? Can they help him mount a courageous mission to reclaim Toad Hall from the weasels? Alan Bennett’s adaptation is a satirical tale of nature, fun, friendship and loyalty.
It’s an adventure which appeals to young and old alike, and Blewbury’s open air garden theatre is the ideal setting.
Director Ed White chose this play because “it feels like Blewbury’s story”. He reflects that the noises, sounds and images, described in the book by Kenneth Grahame, all feel like they could be in this village.
18 July, Orchard Dene – 11am – 1.30pm
An exhibition to celebrate fifty years of the Blewbury Players.
Also open to audience members during performances of the Wind in the Willows (15th, 16th, 17th and 18th)
