WIND IN THE WILLOWS RETURNS: A SUMMER OUTING FOR SYDNEY FAMILIES
A Classic Story Comes to Life Outdoors
Kenneth Grahame’s beloved tale is taking over the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney from 7 to 25 January 2026. Families can step into the world of Ratty, Mole, Badger, Otter, Portly, and the ever-chaotic Mr Toad as this award-winning outdoor production returns for another magical season.
Interactive Theatre That Kids Actually Join In
This isn’t sit-still-and-watch theatre. The Head Chief Rabbit recruits the entire audience, transforming little ones into energetic rabbits with a waggle of the ears and a wiggle of the nose. Kids are encouraged to shout out, sing along, and jump right into the adventure. Parents get laughs, kids get a joyful sensory-safe experience, and everyone wins.
Music, Mischief, and a Whole Lot of Fun
Expect catchy songs, big characters, and moments that surprise even the grown-ups. With glowing praise from reviewers calling it “the perfect family fare in a delightful setting”, this production is a summer staple for families looking to get outdoors and make memories.
Make It a Picnic Night to Remember
Pack the picnic blankets, snacks, and sunscreen. Performances take place by the Main Pond, surrounded by lush greenery and harbour views. With morning, afternoon, and evening sessions, it suits toddlers, big kids, and parents looking for a wholesome summer outing.
