There is no obvious way to categorise the music of Trio Gitano - from the Hotclub Quintet, Jazz and Gypsy influences, to Latin, Flamenco and Classical.

Mole is bored with spring-cleaning and yearns for adventure. Ratty likes messing about in boats, Badger wants a quiet life. Toad likes - well anything that’s extravagant really: big houses, gypsy caravans, trains, food, and very very VERY fast cars...

Four very different animals become firm friends and enjoy a summer filled with adventure - and, in Toad’s case, vehicular mayhem, incarceration, legal trial, escape, cross-dressing, bankruptcy and an invasion of his ancestral pile. International award-winning professional theatre company Illyria returns with Kenneth Grahame’s much-loved classic. This production will be a treat for everyone aged 5 and over, and features a very loud Toad in a REAL car!

The performance will finish at approximately 8.20pm. Bring chairs or rugs, no seating provided. Come early, bring a picnic and enjoy the idyllic setting. Bar and coffee available.

As artists-in-residence to the Festival the Quartet is able to give us two contrasting programmes, this evening celebrating composers from Bach to Piazolla, and tomorrow lunchtime embracing lively and entertaining works of the 20th century.
