Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Wind in the Willows
The Wind in the Willows’
Saturday 18 November – Friday 5 January
Inspired by the timeless tale of woodland animals messing about on the river, Basildon Park is transformed into a Christmas woodland wonderland. Beautifully decorated trees, garlands and twinkling fairy lights set the scene for the story to unfold.
The magical theme extends out into the garden where charming woodland creatures frolic amongst whimsical decorations. For energy-filled children, helping to keep Mr Toad out of trouble on the active festive trail around the garden will hopefully do the same for them!
