THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS
KATHY BOURNE AND DANIEL EVANS PHOTOGRAPH BY SEAMUS RYAN
WELCOME
Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing – absolutely nothing – half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. Living so close to Chichester Harbour and the Canal, many people may agree with Ratty’s famous words from The Wind in the Willows; but we’d add that there is also nothing – absolutely nothing – half so much worth doing as watching Chichester Festival Youth Theatre’s annual Christmas show! It’s a joy to welcome you to Dale Rooks’s new production of this delightful tale. Enhanced once again by Simon Higlett’s inspired set design and Ryan Dawson Laight’s enchanting costumes, it boasts a cast of 64 young people to bring Kenneth Grahame’s immortal tale to life for a new generation.
Alan Bennett’s witty adaptation established itself as a classic when it premiered at the National Theatre in 1990; with music and additional lyrics by Jeremy Sams, it’s a treat for adults and children alike. And what better time to celebrate the glorious wildlife we are lucky enough to have around us? The Sussex Wildlife Trust introduce us to Ratty, Mole, Badger and Toad’s real-life counterparts in this programme. There’s plenty more family entertainment to come this Winter season, including a star-studded traditional pantomime – Mother Goose with Ian McKellen, John Bishop and Anna-Jane Casey; and the UK’s first ever professional touring production of the uplifting musical comedy Bugsy Malone. We hope you enjoy today’s performance from our marvellous Youth Theatre, and to see you again soon.

CFT BUDDIES At a Crazy for You Dementia Friendly performance this summer, CFT Buddies were on hand to offer support – particularly for a group of 30 people making their first visit to CFT. Afterwards, their organiser Jacky wrote: ‘Fabulous: no other word will do. We loved every moment. Thank you again for making our trip possible.’ Our CFT Buddies scheme is a free companion service for audience members who may not feel comfortable attending the Theatre on their own or need a little extra support during their visit. Buddies are available free of charge to accompany individuals to attend any event at the Theatre. Working in partnership with Chichester District Council’s Social Prescribing Team, people are also being referred to us for monthly social visits, or to attend activities across the district. Louise Rigglesford, Senior Community and Outreach Manager, says: ‘We know that lack of transport is a barrier to people making use of Buddies, so our next aspiration is to provide training for our volunteers so they can become transport providers as well.
‘Currently we have 15 volunteer Buddies, and will be looking to recruit 10 more in 2023.’ Annette Bulbeck and Claire Rainey, Regional Marketing Coordinators for Rathbones Investment Management, are delighted with the company’s continued sponsorship of the scheme. ‘Rathbones has been the scheme’s principal corporate supporter since its inception. CFT is attended by our staff and clients, some of whom would like to make use of this scheme; others may require the service in the future. Members of the Rathbones team are also looking forward to training as volunteer Buddies.’ To learn more about CFT Buddies, visit cft.org.uk/buddies.

THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS By Kenneth Grahame Adapted for the stage by Alan Bennett Music and Additional Lyrics by Jeremy Sams
WILD IN WE
By Charlotte Owen, WildCall Officer for Sussex Wildlife Trust
Meet the real-life residents of the riverbank and beyond that inspired Kenneth Grahame’s much-loved characters.
OTTER
(Lutra lutra ) ‘A broad, glistening muzzle showed itself above the edge of the bank, and the Otter hauled himself out and shook the water from his coat.’ The rare and elusive Otter is making a welcome return to Sussex after an absence of nearly 50 years, reflecting a big improvement in the state of our rivers and wetlands after long-term conservation efforts. A top predator, the Otter specialises in catching fish and is an excellent swimmer, perfectly adapted for a life in the water. They have webbed feet and can close their ears and nostrils when they dive, while their dense fur is so waterproof that their skin never actually gets wet. Size: 60-80cm long, plus tail (1-2 bed pillows) Weight: 6-8kg (2 pet cats) Habitat: Rivers and wetlands Lifespan: Up to 17 years Did you know? An Otter can hold its breath for about 30 seconds when swimming underwater
WATER VOLE
(Arvicola amphibious ) ‘Supposing we drop down the river together, and have a long day of it?’ Ratty is in fact a Water Vole, a common sight back in 1908 when the book was first published but now a riverside rarity. Numbers in Sussex are critically low but there are still two main strongholds: one on the Chichester Coastal Plain, and one on the Pett and Rye Levels. True to character, Water Voles love messing about on rivers as long as they have earthy banks to burrow into and plenty of lush bankside vegetation for food and shelter. Listen out for the distinctive ‘plop’ of a Water Vole diving in for a swim. Size: 14-22cm long, plus tail (could sit on an A5 piece of paper) Weight: 150-300g (1-2 packets of biscuits) Habitat: Rivers and wetlands with slow-flowing water Lifespan: Often less than a year Did you know? 227 different plant species have been identified in the Water Vole’s diet
EST SUSSEX BADGER
(Meles meles ) ‘Badger... lived his own life by himself, in his hole in the middle of the Wild Wood.’ The nocturnal Badger is our biggest land predator and a relative of the Stoat, Weasel and Otter. Most Badgers are very social creatures, living underground in family groups known as clans. Their home is an elaborate system of tunnels and chambers called a sett, which may be centuries old, and Badgers are very particular about keeping their home clean. Each clan defends their own territory, marking the boundaries with a series of latrines (shallow toilet pits) to warn off intruders. Size: 75-100cm long (about the width of a doorway) Weight: 7-13kg in spring; 15-17kg in autumn, ready to hibernate (similar to a Cocker Spaniel) Habitat: Woodland, gardens and urban greenspaces Lifespan: Up to 14 years Did you know? Badgers have inspired more British place names than any other animal
WEASEL
(Mustela nivalis ) ‘You can’t really trust them, and that’s the fact.’ The feisty Weasel is our smallest carnivore – so small that it can supposedly slip its head through a wedding ring. Its long, slinky body is well-adapted to winding through the twists and turns of the tiniest tunnels in search of rodent prey, so there’s nowhere to hide. Running isn’t much use either; Weasels are quick and agile above or below ground, and will even tackle an animal several times their own size. They’re often seen as vicious and greedy but their high metabolism demands they eat a third of their own body weight daily. Size: 17-2cm (the length of a dinner fork) Weight: 60-120g (1-2 tennis balls) Habitat: Woodland and long grass along hedgerows, rivers and ditches Lifespan: 1-2 years Did you know? Not long ago, a Weasel famously took flight on the back of a Green Woodpecker when its ambitious attack didn’t go quite as planned
MOLE
(Talpa europaea ) ‘The Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring-cleaning his little home.’ Moles spend almost their entire lives underground in a network of permanent tunnels. They are usually solitary and highly territorial. Moles are expert excavators, using their spade-like paws to dig a series of passageways and chambers. This tunnelling activity leaves a tell-tale trail of spoil heaps at the surface, known as mole hills. A Mole’s burrow is more than just a place to live; it acts as a giant pitfall trap for unsuspecting earthworms, which are quickly detected and eaten by the resident mole thanks to its supersensitive whiskers. Size: 11-16cm (about the length of a short ruler) Weight: 70-130g (a small apple) Habitat: Meadows, farmland, woodland, gardens – almost anywhere with soil that can be dug Lifespan: 3 years Did you know? A Mole can dig 20 metres of tunnels in a single day
TOAD
(Bufo bufo ) ‘I’m such a clever Toad.’ Cars and Toads really don’t mix. Traffic poses the biggest threat to migrating Toads as they return to their ancestral breeding ponds each spring, faithfully following the same routes every year. Some may only need to walk a few metres but others will embark on a long-distance hike of several kilometres – only to find their route is now criss-crossed by dangerous roads. Toads favour deep ponds and lay their spawn in a long thread, like a string of pearls wrapped around underwater plants. Size: Males up to 8cm long; females up to 10 cm (would fit in the palm of an adult hand) Weight: Up to 80g (3 AA batteries) Habitat: Woodland, hedgerows, grassland, gardens and ponds Lifespan: Up to 12 years Did you know? In spring, volunteer Toad patrols gather at migration hotspots to help Toads cross the road safely

Sussex Wildlife Trust
HEDGEHOG
(Erinaceus europaeus ) ‘The sight of these greedy young hedgehogs stuffing themselves with fried ham makes me feel positively famished.’ Small, round and covered in spines, the unmistakeable Hedgehog is one of our most familiar wild mammals. Once a common sight, Hedgehogs have declined drastically as changes to both urban and rural landscapes have made life much tougher for them – but wildlifefriendly gardens can be a real haven. Hedgehogs eat all kinds of creepy crawlies from earthworms to crunchy beetles, and will also hoover up fallen fruit, berries and birds’ eggs. They need to fatten up in autumn to prepare for their winter hibernation, which may last several months. Size: 15-30cm (0.5 – 1 long ruler) Weight: up to 2kg (up to 7 baking potatoes) Habitat: Woodland edges, hedgerows, pastures, parks and gardens Lifespan: 2-3 years but sometimes up to 10 Did you know? Their spines are modified hairs, and the average Hedgehog has about 7,000 of them
At Sussex Wildlife Trust we are working for a recovery of wildlife in our rivers, at sea and on the land. We want Sussex to be a place where people and wildlife can thrive together. A place where a diversity of people can connect to the wild and who value the world we live in. For 60 years, we have looked after a network of nature reserves brimming with wildlife - from woods and heaths to wetlands and flower-rich meadows. Coastal reserves such as Rye Harbour, ancient woods like The Mens, heaths like Iping Common and flower-rich chalk grasslands like Malling Down, are safe havens for rare and threatened wildlife and can be enjoyed by all. We also work hard to protect and enhance the marine environment – our Sussex by the Sea. Since 1961 we have been deepening people’s understanding and appreciation of our vulnerable and beautiful natural world. We engage with many people – toddlers, school children, students and adults of all ages – inspiring them about wildlife, providing opportunities for contact with and understanding of nature. We also work with landowners, farmers and local communities to protect and enhance our environment. We support people to understand that nature provides so much bounty for human needs – like healthy food, clean water and fresh air. We also speak up for nature, arguing for our wildlife and habitats to be properly protected and considered in all decision making. All this is underpinned by wildlife information – an evidence base we manage on behalf of many partners from around the county. We are working with many of you in ‘Our Wild Sussex’ taking action together to increase wild places which are joined up, so that wildlife can move throughout the landscape. If we achieve this then more people will have opportunities for connection with nature.
A BIT OF ANI Designer Ryan Dawson Laight is back giving the CFYT Christmas show his trademark flair with a touch of Wild Wood magic. We spoke to Ryan about designing costumes for a cast of animals! My favourite costume design this year has to be the Mice, I love playing with scale and the mouse ears we have created this year are extremely joyful. The biggest challenge by far is trying to be original. This is my fifth Wind in the Willows production, so trying to find new ways of creating animal shapes is essential . Mostly ideas come from new versions of a script and the aesthetic conversations between the set designer and director. It’s always a collaborative process, trying to find a vision for the whole creative process. I am mostly obsessed with Badger’s costume, I would like to think I could carry at least one piece of it off in my home town of Brighton!

SUPPORT US
SUPPORT OUR 60TH BIRTHDAY APPEAL Birthdays are for sharing and we are working harder than ever to help everyone join in. Your donation will mean more people can be part of our celebratory anniversary year. We’re proud of CFT’s 60-year history of making and sharing stories for all. So to celebrate our 60th Birthday, we’re doing even more to ensure everyone can get involved – whether that’s through providing bursaries for our Youth Theatre, offering relaxed and dementia-friendly performances, or training our volunteer Buddies to assist isolated people with theatre visits. We’re continuing to offer tickets starting from £10 for our Festival Theatre shows, as well as a full range of audio described, captioned and signed performances.
We still need your help to raise £100,000 this year to enable everyone to be part of CFT’s birthday year. However much you choose to donate, your generosity will make a real difference to those most in need.
