A PLAY will be performed in an outdoor arena set above Holcombe village with the West Pennine Moors in the background.

Join Mole and Ratty for fundraising tale

The much-loved family favourite, Wind in the Willows, will take to the stage at the Margaret Haes Riding Centre in Holcombe, Ramsbottom on Saturday, May 31.

Multi-award winning Illyria Outdoor Theatre group will be performing.

The performance starts at 5pm, but gates for the charity fundraiser will open at 4pm, for a chance to meet a pony, and for anyone taking a picnic to enjoy beforehand.

Fun finger puppets of the four main characters, made by one of the centre's young supporters, will be on sale to raise much-needed funds.
