      Down by the riverside, something stirs. Mole\u2019s fed up with Spring cleaning and comes up for a breath of fresh air\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The next thing you know, he\u2019s got a new friend, and it\u2019s a friend with a boat. This is Ratty who says very wise things like: \u201cThere is nothing…….absolutely nothing, half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats\u201d. And in they get and off they row and their Great Adventure begins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      They meet the incorrigible, boastful, loud and pompous Toad with his passing whims. First it\u2019s his caravan, then it\u2019s a motor car (poop ! poop!), then it\u2019s his barge, not to mention all the scrapes he gets himself into. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Then there\u2019s dear old Badger trying to bring some sanity to proceedings. Mix in a few rather sinister Wild Wooders and a handful of rather strange human beings and you have the classic story re-told with inimitable humour by Yorkshire\u2019s own Alan Bennett. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Lots of singing, lots of dancing and lots of fun. A colourful spectacular for the child in each of us. The Wind in the Willows is one you\u2019d be sorry to miss. However old you are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
