There’s now just over a week to go until it’s time for our Tolkien’s Middle Earth Tour on Sunday 24th February. Making the tour even more interesting, we are delighted to announce a special tie-in with local charity Trident Reach. They recently acquired Perrott’s Folly in Edgbaston, one of the original two towers that are said to have inspired the young Tolkien, and are aiming to raise £1 million to restore it for community and visitor use. Ben Bradley from the charity has kindly agreed to open the tower and take us inside and up to the top as part of our tour, so we can get a great view of one of the areas Tolkien lived in, and over the whole city skyline. Thanks to Ben for his offer, which has given an extra dimension to our tour, and we wish him and his colleagues every success in their fundraising and public awareness campaigns.
To get your tickets for the tour, including this unique opportunity to visit Perrott’s Folly, visit our online booking site Oxboffice.
