I’m in it right now, it’s called “Myth and Tolkien”… It’s been a very enjoyable class … and one of the best days was actually yesterday when Mr. Douglas A.

The email notification from Chapter says describes it as “an unmissable special offer in the cinema where you can see all three Lord of the Rings films for just £6 in a day long saga to test your stamina … That’s a massive 558 minutes of stunning, Oscar-winning cinema for £6. That has to be great value”. I agree!
Contact details are: box office 029 2030 4400; on line tickets and info http://www.chapter.org. Chapter is in Canton, a trendy part of Cardiff, and very easy to get to. It’s actually a converted school with a theatre, art galleries, cafe, bar and studios, and the two cinema screens are in knocked through double classrooms. They only have a capacity of 190 in the cinema showing the trology, and so far have only sold tickets for about half of those.
