To celebrate the 75th anniversary of J.R.R Tolkien's The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey and the release of Peter Jackson's new film adaption of the novel, we are launching a new online Hobbit community for reading groups.

Nine groups from across the country, made up of both adults and younger readers, will be reading the novel and sharing their views about it in a series of blogs. In addition, the groups will be blogging about some of the many different Tolkien-inspired events, activities and workshops that are taking place in coming months.

Get involved

Get into the spirit of things by watching the film's trailer here, and then meet our Hobbit bloggers on our Reading Groups for Everyone site.
