Tell Us Your Riverbank Tales: The Wind in the Willows Turns 40
As we prepare to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Wind in the Willows, we are looking for your special story!
Have you had a hilarious experience at one of the performances?
Is there a special reason your family keeps coming back to Toad Hall?
Did you attend with your parents and now bring your own children?
For the last 40 years, Glenn Elston's adaptation of The Wind in the Willows has brought families together in The Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne.
Mr Toad and the Riverbank friends have been a pillar in Melbourne's summer family traditions for decades, making us laugh, sing, and protect our picnics from the mischievous Weasel!
Send through your Riverbank tales, photos, and videos to boxoffice@shakespeareaustralia.com.au or send us a message to our social media channels by Friday 27th November 2026
Generations and generations of Rabbits have come through Toad Hall over the last 40 years, and we can't wait to hear the stories, memories, and mischief you've shared along the way!
