The Lord of the Rings All-Dayer

12A

We've come to it at last... the great film-marathon of our time.

Join us this July as we follow Frodo, Gandalf, Aragorn and the Fellowship on their legendary adventure – from the rolling hills of the Shire, to the fires of Mount Doom.

25 years after Peter Jackson first wowed audiences with the concluding chapter of his award-winning trilogy, we are thrilled to return to Tolkien's Middle-Earth – a world that remains just as rich, authentic and awe-inspiring today as it did a quarter of a century ago, thanks to Jackson's dedication to craft, innovative use of practical special effects, and embrace of New Zealand's stunning landscapes. 

As well as screening the recently remastered, extended-editions of the award-winning trilogy, those embarking on this legendary adventure with us will enjoy live music, quizzes during the breaks and themed food.

This marathon is more than us simply walking into Mordor. As well as screening the films you all love, there will also be live music from a four-piece band comprised of talented local musicians Evan, Katy, Georgie and Alana. From 11.15am, they'll be treating us to specially arranged music from the films featuring guitar, fiddle, harp, whistle and vocals.

What about second breakfast? There will be breaks in between the films, where you can stretch your legs and enjoy some some luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner, supper etc. You're are fine to bring drinks and snacks into the cinema with you – but hot food and alcohol is not permitted, and we ask audiences not to bring any nuts or shellfish. Please be mindful of fellow audiences and don't bring anything smelly or that will cause lots of noise/rustling. Food and drink will be available to buy from the cinema throughout the day – including slices of cake, sausage rolls, scotch eggs and pies – all vegan. 

You need people of intelligence on this sort of mission... quest... thing. Film marathons can be such a wonderful collective experience – especially when we are all going on such an epic journey together. But to ensure everyone can fully immerse themselves in Middle-earth, we'll ask everyone to be extra considerate to one another throughout the day. This means avoiding any loud talking, noisy food and not being on your phone. If you need to do any of these, you're very welcome to pop out of the screen at any time.
