Dear Friends,
The Fellowship Festival 2005
27th- 29th August, Wembley Conference Centre, London
The waiting is finally over; tickets have just gone on sale for The Fellowship
Festival 2005, the most exciting “Lord of the Rings” UK event ever.
While our first Festival 2004 was a great success, we have taken some time to
listen to your feedback, hear what you liked and what you didn’t and have made
some improvements for the next unmissable show, it’s going to be a cracker!
Change of Venue
We loved the beauty of Alexandra Palace, but overall feeling was that you felt
a little lost in the huge open area so we have moved to Wembley Conference
Centre in London, with it’s own beautiful theatre, click on the link to see a
picture of it.

deal more hotels in the local area so you can get back and forth from The
Festival within minutes without hassle, easier for those of you stumbling back
after a few drinks. We will be posting accommodation details in the next few
days so please bear with us.
The Parkers are back!
That’s right, they had such a good time with you in August that they want to do
it again, and so we are proud to announce that Mr Craig Parker (Haldir) and Mr
Mark Ferguson (Gil-Galad) are going to MC The Festival again! That’s right,
dear friends, these gorgeous men can’t wait to entertain you once again and
they have lots more planned naughtiness up their sleeves. Hopefully, we can
persuade them to repeat the now famous radio play that everyone loved so much
at the last show along with thinking up some new comedy moments just for you!
We will also be announcing some brand new guests for Festival 2005 in a very
short while so keep an eye on our event website
www.aaaevents.co.ukChildren can come along for FREE!
We listened to your feedback and agreed that we should offer something more for
the family; after all, Tolkien’s books are read by everyone, therefore for
Festival 2005, all children 10 years and under can come for free making The
Festival a great family day out! Up to two children can attend for free with
one paying adult. Babies and toddlers up to 3 years can be held in arms while
older children will have their own seat.
Improving the 2005 Festival Packages
This year we are offering a lot more value for money for visitors who want the
entire festival experience. Last year, it cost £200 for a three day allocated
seat at the front of the theatre, with nothing else included. For the 2005
Festival we are offering a lot more value:
Platinum Package £375 (very limited availability):
• Allocated seat in reserved section at the front of the theatre
• “Meet the stars” sessions with all available guests including up to
three items personally signed and photos
• A ticket to the now famous Fellowship Feast, a luxury three course
meal with wine in the company of the Stars
• Access to Exhibition, evening entertainment and seminars and workshops
Gold Package £275 (very limited availability):
• Allocated seat in reserved section at the front of the theatre
• “Meet the stars” sessions with all available guests including up to
three items personally signed and photos
• Access to Exhibition, evening entertainment and seminars and workshops
Standard Three day pass £50 if booked before Jan 5th 2005 (£60 if booked after
5th Jan 2005)
• Non-allocated seat in the theatre
• Access to Exhibition, evening entertainment and seminars and workshops
Single Day Tickets - £20 for Saturday or Monday and £25 for Sunday
• There is something for everyone’s budget, if you don’t want to buy a
platinum or gold package, you can still come along for a day and have a
brilliant time, have a non-allocated seat in the hall of fire, attend all the
workshops and seminars and visit the exhibition for only £20 a day (£25 on
Sunday).
If you have a standard ticket, there are still a limited amount of Festival
Feast tickets priced at £175 (£20 less than last year!) Please note that we are
only holding two Feasts at the 2005 Festival on the Saturday and Sunday, so
book now to avoid disappointment. Also, you can purchase separate “meet the
stars” sessions nearer the time.
We only have a limited amount of Platinum and Gold packages available so book
as soon as possible if you want to avoid disappointment, these tickets will go
fast!
The Tolkien Society and other expert speakers will once again delight us with
interactive seminars and workshops, and we are very proud to announce that we
have some LOTR cast members joining us who will be holding their own workshops
including acting and directing so if you are an aspiring actor or want to start
producing your own films, then The Fellowship Festival 2005 is the place to be!
As one reviewer said of the last Festival, it was “one of the best ‘Lord of the
Rings’ fan events in the world” so get your tickets now and don’t miss out! If
you were not able to attend the last Festival, click on this link to see what
an amazing time everyone had.

hearts for all your support and we look forward to seeing you in August! Roll
on 2005!
Warmest wishes to you
The Fellowship Festival Team
