Noisy Cow Theatre Co invites you to leave the modern world behind and join Mole, Ratty, and the formidable Badger on Kenneth Grahame’s classic adventure that has captivated hearts for over a century.

The Wind in the Willows takes place across the changing seasons, from the warmth of spring to the chill of winter; from the quiet magic of a picnic on the water to the dusty, high-octane chaos of the open road. But the Wild Wood is stirring, the Weasels are plotting, and the rather flamboyant Mr. Toad is about to learn that while motorcars are fast, the consequences of a stolen ride are even faster.

Join our woodland friends as they overcome their individual hardships and embrace one thing – their alliance and devotion to each other. Whether you are six or sixty, there is a seat for you at our table. Just mind the oars, watch out for the stoats, and prepare for a “simply topping” time at the theatre!


Please note that the £10 per car summer offer applies to all events from 18 July–30 August. Enjoy all the amazing activities and events happening this summer, and find out more about the Summer Offer here.
