Location
Experience the real Middle-earth™ with a spectacular event at Hobbiton Movie Set.
Situated on a 1,250 acre working sheep & beef farm is The Hobbiton Movie Set. When scouting around for settings for his epic movie adaptation of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Kiwi Director Sir Peter Jackson found just what he was looking for in the green paddocks of the Waikato just outside of Matamata.
The Hobbiton Movie Set Tour
The Hobbiton tour acts as a perfect incentive activity. Your guide will escort you through the twelve-acre site, recounting fascinating details of how the Hobbiton Movie Set was created. Hobbit holes, The Green Dragon Inn, the Mill and other structures can be viewed and you will see how this beautiful piece of Waikato farmland was transformed into The Shire from Middle-earth.
The Green Dragon™ Inn
The Green Dragon Inn was the meeting place for all residents of Hobbiton, who would gather in the warm surroundings of the bar to chatter about the day’s events.
An exact replica of The Green Dragon Inn, as seen in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies, has been masterfully recreated in the heart of The Shire. The barrels of The Green Dragon Inn are filled with our exclusive Southfarthing™ ale, stout, cider and gingerbeer, a perfect match to any feast in the Shire.
The Green Dragon Inn is fully themed with indoor and outdoor fireplaces and provides professional catering services with fully licensed bars.
The Party Marquee
The Party Marquee is our fully themed marquee created from authentic canvas. The marquee has beautiful hardwood floors and has been placed adjacent to The Green Dragon Inn.
Festively decorated throughout with glowing lanterns and coloured bunting, the Party Marquee creates a party atmosphere to remember. The raised garden bar looks out over Hobbiton Movie Set lake for the perfect backdrop to any event.
Market Place:
Guests will have the chance to experience Middle-earth as they have never seen it before; their journey will begin with a fully guided tour of the Hobbiton Movie Set, with countless fascinating stories and anecdotes about the trilogies. Throughout the set there are 44 complete Hobbit Holes, The Mill, the double arch stone bridge and The Green Dragon Inn kept as they were during filming. The tour then cumulates at the Green Dragon Inn and Market Place to join the festivities.
The Market Place will be bursting with traditional Hobbit fare and guests are invited to taste a little piece of Middle-earth. Your guests will be able to move freely throughout the area where there will be roaming Middle-earth entertainment mingling amongst the guests, our garden bars set up with the Southfarthing range on tap; as well as a selection of Middle Earth wines and various non-alcoholic beverage options.
A variety of Hobbit themed catering stalls will be scattered around the market place allowing your guests to experience Hobbiton in a truly unique way. Catering will include hearty Hobbit sized canapés available from the market stalls and circulated by our staff during the evening as well as roast meats, freshly baked breads, fresh vegetable produce, desserts, NZ cheeses and fruits to be available at your guests fingertips.
A short stroll across the double stone arch bridge is The Green Dragon Inn which featured in The Lord of the Rings trilogy as the local meeting place for all the residents of Hobbiton. It is the perfect place for guests to satisfy their thirst and enjoy a hobbit feast will be waiting by the open fire place, the feast is designed to incorporate everything that keeps a Hobbits cheeks plump and as is the tradition in the Shire, second helpings are encouraged.
