The Magic of Middle-Earth
From March 29th 2025, a magical treasure trove of objects and artworks are coming to Dorchester in this exhibition that will bring the Shire to Shire Hall…
“In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit…”
With those famous words J.R.R. Tolkien welcomed visitors into Middle-Earth, a seemingly living breathing world both mythical and yet familiar. Regarded as the “father” of modern fantasy literature, Tolkien’s cultural influence has extended far beyond just other authors. Middle-earth has inspired creative minds of all types and acted as a Minecraft-like toolbox for generations of artists, musicians, film makers, environmentalists, and game designers.
The Magic Of Middle-Earth takes visitors on a journey beyond the books to explore that expansive artistic legacy. Discover stunning paintings, incredible sculptures, even Middle-earth themed Lego sets. With family fun and kids’ activities this is an exciting exhibition for all ages. Whether you’re a little halfling or a wizened wizard you won’t want to miss this one!
