Tolkien 2019 will take place from Wednesday 7th to Sunday 11th August 2019 at the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham. Directly opposite Birmingham New Street train station, it is easily accessible via public transport, whilst we will have exclusive use of much of the hotel’s facilities. We have a full programme of talks, papers, workshops, and an art exhibition during the daytime, and our evening events include an orchestra and a production of Leaf by Niggle.
