An open air theatre production of 'The Wind in the Willows' is set to be held at Harrogate's Valley Gardens this weekend.

The show from Boxtree Productions will be held at the bandstand on Sunday (14th July).

Boxtree Productions toured their first production, ‘The Three Musketeers,’ in 2014 and this year are celebrating 10 years of open air theatre.

The 2-hour show will start at 2pm and is being organised by North Yorkshire Council.

“This is a fabulous show which will introduce your whole family to the unique atmosphere of an outdoor theatre experience in the amazing surroundings of this historic park.”

The Wind In The Willows will be at Valley Gardens on the 14th July 2024 at 2pm.

Audiences can arrive from 1pm and the show will last approximately 2 hours, including an interval.

Visitors are advised to bring something to sit on and to dress for the great British weather as the performance is outdoors.
