Sefton Park Palm House hosts Illyria theatre

Open-air theatre comes to the grounds of Sefton Park Palm House next month.

Award-winning Illyria outdoor theatre company is set to bring its charming version of The Wind in the Willows to the park for two performances on Saturday, August 22.

Kenneth Grahame’s family favourite, adapted by artistic director Oliver Gray, will be brought to life in inimitable Illyria style.

Mole yearns for adventure, Rat adores boats and Badger likes peace and quiet. Into their lives bursts Toad, who loves very fast cars and just can’t seem to help getting into trouble.

But can the animals reform Toad’s character and evict the squatters from his ancestral home to restore justice to the world?

The show is an hour long with no interval and is suitable for anyone aged five and up.

The Wind in the Willows is at Sefton Park Palm House on August 22 at 2pm and 5pm. Tickets HERE
