Event Details

Back for 2025, the hugely talented outdoor theatre group Illyria will perform The Wind In The Willows at the stunning location of Lowther Castle in aid of the Friends of Calvert Trust. We are delighted to be able to return to the beautiful grounds of Lowther Castle and they are generously including free all-day entry to the grounds and adventure playground on 27 August for ticket holders.

Timid Mole yearns to explore the wide world. Gruff old Badger enjoys peace and quiet. Rat likes summer picnics and just messing about in boats. Their idyllic lives on the Riverbank are turned upside down when Toad announces his latest in a long line of extravagant obsessions: a gypsy caravan. Generous Toad. Exciting Toad. Only-A-Tiny-Bit-Boastful Toad. The Riverbankers console themselves with the fact that he cannot possibly get any worse – until, bewitched by the roar of a motor-car and the screech of burning tyres, he does. The other animals resolve to save him from himself – but can they teach him even a jot of restraint AND help him evict the opportunistic stoats and weasels who have taken over his ancestral pile?

Multiple award-winning Illyria celebrates Kenneth Grahame’s timeless tale of friendship, laughter, the longing for home and the lure of adventure.

Tickets: £18 adult, £10 child, £50 family of 4
