Peter Kenny and the Brisbane Tolkien Fellowship have some amazing events coming up this September and October to celebrate all things Tolkien. So if you’re going to be in Brisbane from September 21st to October 4th come and join them for some wonderful Hobbity fun.
Fellowship Unites for Children’s Literacy
The Brisbane Tolkien Fellowship are a group of passionate fans who work to share their love of all things Tolkien with the community, while raising funds for children’s literacy charity The Pyjama Foundation.
The Fellowship are bonded by their love for author J.R.R Tolkien’s collected works, which include classics such as The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
The Fellowship regularly hosts presentations, parties and community events. Each event brings Middle-earth to life, with costumed characters, readings and songs.
This year, to celebrate international Tolkien Week, The Fellowship will be hosting a range of community events and fund raisers that will ignite the imagination of the young and old.
The events (detailed below) will include picnics, barefoot bowling, readings and a Middle-earth dinner dance, and will help to raise funds for partner charity, The Pyjama Foundation, who match volunteers with children in foster care. The
volunteers and foster children spend time together each week, practising reading and writing skills. Our raised funds are specifically used to buy books for their library.
The Brisbane Tolkien Fellowship are available for events. For further information on The Fellowship, visit www.proudfootesq.com

Tolkien Week September 21-27
The Brisbane Tolkien Fellowship will be celebrating Tolkien Week over a two week period. Our main reason for this decision is that the culmination of Brisbane Festival is on 27th September with River Fire.
