The Paddock is always developing new ideas for projects that inspire and engage our local communities as well as bring together professional artists of this region in new collaborations. These are some of the things we are dreaming about at the moment.

The Reluctant Dragon
The Reluctant Dragon is a story for children by Kenneth Grahame, the author of The Wind in The Willows. It tells the tale of a boy’s friendship with a pacifist dragon – he’s reluctant to fight – and the problems the two encounter when faced with a village gripped by dragon paranoia and set on the beast’s destruction. We are currently adapting the story into a stage play and hope to perform it locally as well as tour it to castles around the UK.
