Families are in for an enchanting treat as 'Mr Toad' takes to the stage at Theatre Royal Winchester.
Illustrating the tale of Mr Toad, whose love for speed and extravagant lifestyle might get him in trouble, the show is an adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's celebrated novel, 'Wind in the Willows', dating back to 1908.
