"One Marathon to rule them all!"

Calling all Hobbits, Elves, and brave Men of the West! Prepare for an epic journey across Middle-Earth as we present the ultimate Lord of the Rings Extended Edition Trilogy Marathon! Whether you're forging through Mordor or just here for the fireworks in the Shire, this all-day cinematic adventure is for you.

The event kicks off at 10:30 a.m.—just in time for elevenses! You'll embark on a 13-hour quest, filled with battles, balrogs, and a good deal of “second breakfast.” Fear not, weary travellers, ample breaks have been built in for luncheon and ales —we wouldn’t dare let you cross the Anduin on an empty stomach.

Grab your Trilogy Ticket and stay for the full epic journey, or, if your quest is shorter, you can pick an individual film. But beware—once you start, "you shall not pass!" on the rest of the journey.

The Fellowship of the Ring (10:30am - 2:15pm) "Even the smallest person can change the course of the future." Join Frodo and the Fellowship as they set out from the peaceful Shire and into danger-filled lands, facing Balrog battles and Boromir's last stand. Don’t miss your chance to see where the adventure begins!

The Two Towers (2:45pm - 6:40pm) "There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it’s worth fighting for." As the darkness of Mordor grows, the Fellowship is broken, but hope endures! Battle alongside Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli at Helm’s Deep and keep an eye out for Gollum as Frodo inches ever closer to Mount Doom.

The Return of the King (7:10pm - 11:35pm) "Now come the days of the King. May they be blessed." Finish the journey with epic battles, the rise of the King, and the fate of the One Ring. By the time the credits roll, you'll feel like you've carried the ring to Mount Doom yourself.

So, gather your Fellowship, prepare for a journey worthy of song, and remember—"The road goes ever on and on…" but luckily, we’ve planned all your breaks perfectly! Don’t miss this chance to experience Middle-Earth in all its glory.
