Hobbit Festival coming to Shropshire

An immersive festival - for fans of author Tolkien's Lord of the Rings - is happening at Weston Park on the Shropshire border this September.

The estate is being turned into "The Shire" where the fictional characters live, and people going will be dressing up as hobbits - with the idea of staying in character for the whole five day event.

It's called the Brandywine Festival, and its organiser, Thomas Miller, has been speaking to BBC Radio Shropshire's Adam Green.
