Middle-earth Weekend 2011

Deputy Lord Mayor's Blog 25 
One of the events that we always enjoy attending either in a civic or private capacity and take an active part in each year is Birmingham's unique Middle-earth Weekend - indeed the Deputy Lady Mayoress chairs the MEW Organising Committee.
This year's event celebrates the work and cultural legacy of J.R.R. Tolkien, his many close connections with Birmingham and how the local landscape influenced his vision of Middle-earth.
Once again the organisation is volunteer led and, in a rather timely manner, this year there is a theme of woodlands and wild areas - of which Tolkien was particularly fond.
As ever, the Middle-earth Weekend will be a truly family occasion with no charge for admission and an old-fashioned air that is held in and around Sarehole Mill on the 21st and 22nd of May. Further details of the event are shown in the poster alongside.
Hope to see you there!
