Tolkien Reading Day Over the Years

olkien Reading Day!

Hosted by the Tolkien Society!

 

"Wednesday 25th March is Tolkien Reading Day 2026 and the theme is Unlikely Heroes. What will you be reading?

Tolkien Reading Day is held on the 25th of March each year. The date of the 25th of March was chosen as the date on which the Ring was destroyed, completing Frodo’s quest and vanquishing Sauron.

It has been organised by the Tolkien Society since 2003 to encourage fans to celebrate and promote the life and works of J.R.R. Tolkien by reading favourite passages. We particularly encourage schools, museums and libraries to host their own Tolkien Reading Day events."
