However, the task is daunting given the high property prices in the UK. Just to buy out Tolkien’s house, it is necessary to raise four million pounds. Another 0.5 million will be spent on renovating the building.
There are other goals as well. If an additional £ 100,000 is raised, a scholarship fund will be created that will allow low-income people to attend creative courses at the center free of charge.
Having collected another 200 thousand pounds, the activists want to build a hobbit house in the garden. Another 200 thousand – and a room for celebrations and a room for those who like to smoke a pipe of tobacco, made in the style of the lair of the dragon Smaug, will be built.
