Rangers of the North Smial: Scouting Ahead – April 2026

 Upcoming Rangers and Tolkien Society events in 2026

This page is a living document showcasing the upcoming events for the Rangers of the North Smial, the Tolkien Society and also for other “of interest” events to members of the Smial and wider Tolkien community. It’s focus is obviously the UK, particularly North-west England where the Smial is located but this does not mean the events listed on this document will be geographically-locked to only that region.
