Wind in the Willows
In the summer of 2024, we performed Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, adapted for the stage by Alan Bennett, at the new location of Luke’s Church Grounds, Dunham-on-the-Hill. It was also our first time selling tickets online and we were thrilled at the response this production got from audience members, both new and old.
