"Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing – absolutely nothing –
half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."

Ratty and his new friend Mole idle away the hours on the river bank little knowing that they, along with wise Mr Badger, are about to embark on a glorious adventure. In pursuit of his latest obsession, the motor car, the incorrigible Mr Toad turns their tranquil life upside down and lands himself in a whole heap of trouble – “poop poop”! An exciting tale unfolds as the friends try to outwit the weasels of the Wild Wood and fight to reclaim Toad Hall for its rightful owner.

Enjoy Kenneth Grahame’s enchanting story of friendship and an adventure shared at The Watermill on the banks of the river Lambourn. The perfect setting for a music and fun-filled, Christmas show produced by the same creative team behind last year’s hit, Treasure Island.
