One night, one Fellowship, under a real Middle-earth sky. Pull your car into the paddock, tune your FM radio, and watch the journey begin on our biggest screen of the season — completely free.
🌦️ Backed by our 100% Kiwi Weather Guarantee — rain or shine, the show goes on.
Sir Ian McKellen first pulled on Gandalf's grey robes right here in Aotearoa — and Christchurch's own backyards, braided rivers and high country stood in for stretches of Middle-earth. This is the most Kiwi way there is to watch the Fellowship set out.
A premium outdoor community screening, run with our signature cinema setup — big screen, FM audio, food trucks, and your car as the best seat in the house.
