  • Wind In The Willows: Saturday 27th May, 3pm

    “Hang spring cleaning!” cries Mole as he abandons this seasonal task for the call of the world above.  

    And what a world he discovers! The River, The Wild Wood and  The Wide World beyond. Mole will experience adventure like  never before! Join him as he learns the joys and dangers of  living outside of his hole and forges friendships with the  logical Rat, formidable Badger and who can forget the  outrageous Toad of Toad Hall.  

    Closely adapted from the original and best-selling children’s  book by Kenneth Grahame and combined with traditional folk  music, this will delight children and adults alike this summer!

    We are excited to welcome (once again again) the wonderful actors from Thisismytheatre who will be performing live in church on Saturday 27th May at 3pm. But best to arrive a bit earlier to get the best seats and listen to the music preamble.

    Tickets from the Thisismytheatre website, general admission £15, concessions for CCT members. Under 16’s £10, under 4’s go free. Running time approx. 85 mins.
