In an extraordinary display of fan support, Burgschneider, a German live events company, has far exceeded its Kickstarter goals for the much-anticipated Middle-earth Brandywine Festival. This immersive event, inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's legendary world, promises to bring the charm of the Shire to life with a unique live-action roleplaying (LARP) experience.
The festival, officially licensed through Middle-earth Enterprises, will take place over five enchanting days in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, in October 2025. Attendees can look forward to a harvest celebration filled with games, songs, and the iconic Second Breakfasts that Hobbits are famous for.
Burgschneider's Kickstarter campaign, launched to fund this ambitious project, set out with modest expectations but quickly captured the imagination of Tolkien fans worldwide. Within a short time, the campaign soared past its initial target, raising significant funds to ensure a magical experience for all participants.
The Brandywine Festival aims to immerse players in the peaceful and whimsical life of the Shire, offering a rare opportunity to step into Middle-earth. From costumes crafted by Burgschneider to interactive storytelling, every detail is designed to create an authentic and unforgettable adventure.
Organizers have expressed their gratitude for the overwhelming support, noting that the success of the campaign will allow them to enhance the event with additional features and surprises. This includes expanding the scope of activities and ensuring a high-quality LARP event that stays true to Tolkien's vision.
As excitement builds, fans are encouraged to follow updates on the official Kickstarter page and Burgschneider’s website for ticketing information and further details. The Middle-earth Brandywine Festival is shaping up to be a landmark event for fantasy enthusiasts and LARP communities alike.
