Come along this summer and meet Ratty, Mole, Badger, Otter, Portly,  and Mr Toad as they bring Kenneth Grahame’s immortal story of life on the riverbank to life in Sydney’s Royal Botanic Garden from 5 to 28 January 2024.

This critically acclaimed theatre production, that is now Australia’s best-loved outdoor family entertainment delivers music, songs and laughs for young and old and next year celebrates 22 years in the beautiful gardens.
