About the jubilee
Welcome to the homepage of the 54 year Jubilee of the Swedish Tolkien Society Forodrim!
The jubilee will take place
Thursday–Sunday on May 28–31, 2026.
We are planning a four day long celebration, and we hope to see you there!
Last chance to register is March 31st.
These pages are updated as the plans progress, so check in once in a while to see what are new.
If you belong to a Tolkien society outside of Sweden, and your society would like to receive information about our jubilee, please use to form below to let us know.
Worth knowing
Etiquette
If you follow common etiquette you will do quite well in the Forodrim. But to make the unaccustomed feel more comfortable there is a collection of advice and guidelines. You who are accustomed may also benefit from reading it.
Dress
You are expected to wear “Middle-earthly” dress during the entire festival. Any honest effort is accepted. Since the jubilee goes on for three days, bring more than one set of clothes. Plan your clothes and shoes to match the weather. There may be a few walks, even if you do not intend to take part in any outdoor activities.
To bring
You have to bring your own sheets and towels (we do not have any extra).
Apart from that and clothes you should not forget to bring:
- Medicals that you need. It is far to the nearest pharmacy, and the Council's Surgeon of the Forodrim only has a limited assortment for emergencies.
- Money. The Barbar will accept cash and Swish payments.
- Umbrella. If the local concentration of umbrellas is sufficiently increased, there should be no rain, and if there is, you have umbrellas.
- Indoor shoes. Most of the buildings do not allow outdoor shoes to be used indoor.
Embassies
A society that wants to present an embassy to the Forodrim should inform us as long beforehand as possible. It is during the jubilee ceremonies on the Saturday that the Grand Council of the Forodrim will receive embassies. Please contact the Lord of Ceremonies (Järnsaxas mejl.).
Make a toast?
Our toastmaster during the banquet dinner is Éowyn. If you want to make a toast or a short speach please contact her.
Don’t
Smoking indoors is not allowed in any of the buildings.
You may not bring alcohol.
