Shire Productions is a drama group specialising in outdoor productions and has been involved with Tolkien Weekends at Sarehole Mill, in Hall Green, Birmingham, from their start in 1989.  Details of this year's  weekend in May are on the 'news' page.

Many current members were involved with an early production of The Hobbit at Sarehole Mill in 1989, when the films were not even a twinkle in anyone's eye!

Members present dramatic excerpts from
"The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings"
at Sarehole Mill and Moseley Bog which are part of the Shire Country Park. They also staged an adaptation of Tolkien's Farmer Giles of Ham for the international gathering Tolkien 2005 at Aston University in Birmingham.

Shire Productions appear at The Tolkien Weekend alongside the Shire Country Park Rangers, The Tolkien Society, the City Libraries, craftspeople, poets, entertainers and local volunteer groups, to provide this free community event celebrating the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.
