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.
