About The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in Concert

A live orchestra and choir perform the full score in sync with the film projected overhead, so every horn call and swordfight cue lands exactly as scored. Saturday timing makes it an easy one for a full day trip, with time either side for dinner. Fans of the score and newcomers to it tend to sit side by side, drawn by the same swelling brass and choral themes.

About bp pulse LIVE

An indoor arena within Birmingham's sprawling NEC complex, bp pulse LIVE hosts concerts, comedy and live events beside the exhibition halls on the city's eastern edge. The setting is a self-contained events campus, with on-site hotels, restaurants and lakeside walks rather than a traditional high street.

Birmingham International station and the nearby airport make arrivals straightforward, with fast trains into the centre. Booking a room on or near the complex lets you walk to the show and avoid the post-event car-park crawl.
