Middle-earth comes to Southport: Introduction & Hub

“Eärendil was a mariner 

that tarried in Arvernien; 

he built a boat of timber felled 

in Nimbrethil to journey in; 

her sails he wove of silver fair, 

of silver were her lanterns made, 

her prow he fashioned like a swan, 

and light upon her banners laid.”

-- Bilbo's recital in Rivendell
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings:
Fellowship of the Ring
(Book Two, Chapter 1: Many Meetings)

This page will become the hub for keeping you informed about what is coming up for Tolkien Trewsday.

Rangers of the North Smial - Designing the Ranger's Badge

- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Book Five  Chapter 2: The Passing of the Grey Company
