A play by Rob Evans
Based on the novel by Kenneth Grahame

A festive family adventure, full of hilarity, heart and song – join us on the River Bank next Christmas!

Get cosy, gather round the tree and listen to Mole’s tale – of how four friends saved not only the Wild Wood, but Christmas itself. Toad, Ratty, Badger and Mole live a life of laughter and camaraderie, swept up in the joys of life by the river. But as the seasons pass their friendships are put to the test by the scheming Chief Weasel and his villainous plans. Will Toad’s reckless behaviour catch up with him? Can shy Mole summon the courage to save Toad Hall in time for Christmas? One thing’s for sure – there’s nothing stronger than friendship, family and standing by the ones we love.

This colourful, joyous Christmas extravaganza has laughter, music and song for all the family! A festive adaptation of Kenneth Grahame’s timeless classic written by Rob Evans and starring a professional cast alongside our celebrated Rose Youth Theatre. 

So start your engines Kingston, head to the River Bank for Christmas 2026, poop-poop!
