Discover the Real Shire at Stonyhurst this summer.
A new exhibition at the award-winning Stonyhurst College Museum shares the true story of JRR Tolkien's links with the Ribble Valley. His world-renowned books, The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, are skilfully and ingeniously illuminated through some of the amazing riches of Stonyhurst's famous Museum collections. Set alongside the captivating Sherlock Holmes detective tales of Stonyhurst's Arthur Conan Doyle, and Shakespeare's masterful drama seen in the Stonyhurst First Folio, this exhibition weaves together the writings of some of the most influential British authors of all time: Conan Doyle, Shakespeare and JRR Tolkien.
These are not guided tours but are a self-guided experience with staff and volunteers on hand to assist visitors.
