Tolkien Trewsday Week 50: Wetlands – Tuesday 6th February 2024


Week 50: Wetlands – Tuesday 6th February 2024
#TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday #Tolkien

Welcome to #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday.

The hub for this Twitter-based event can be found here.

Tolkien Trewsday (the Hobbit name for Tuesday!) invites the #Tolkien community to form a fellowship to collectively tweet about a pre-selected theme about Tolkien, his works and his life. 

Each week a new theme will be selected, often via a poll or by a guest host/curator, and together we will build a collective outpouring of creativity, knowledge and love for J.R.R. Tolkien and the adaptions based on his works.

To get an understanding of what each company owns, please check the License infographic here (Blog post: 1 February 2023).
