It started about 20 years ago with just a few dozen fans of the of the JRR Tolkien book The Hobbit meeting in a forest in the Czech Republic and acting out some of the famous battle scenes from the fantasy novel.

Now, two decades later it draws hundreds of would-be Orcs, Elves, Rangers and Dwarves from across Europe.

Have any ’Mooters attended?

No, but I certainly want to. Not much of a larper per se, but from what I have seen it looks like a blast!

They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
