Your guide will escort you on a walking tour through Hobbiton Movie Set, in a group of up to 30 people, making for a more intimate experience.
Journey around the 12 acre set; past Hobbit Holes™, explore Bagshot Row™ for a glimpse inside the humble home of a Hobbit before heading to The Green Dragon Inn™ for a tipple of choice from our exclusive Hobbit™ Southfarthing™ range.
Food and cheer is important in the Shire, so you will be treated with a hearty feed in The Millhouse, our private fully themed venue. Enjoy a decadent banquet lunch piled high with all the trimmings... second helpings are encouraged!
Once you have had your fill, follow your guide as you embark on the next part of your adventure.
Take a peek behind the curtain of how the Hobbiton magic is made with a visit to the Art Department's workshop. Your guide will share some
fascinating insight into the creation and maintenance of Hobbiton Movie Set
and the set decorating that keep the movie set looking alive and lived in.
The final leg of your journey will venture down some of Hobbiton’s unwandered paths for a delectable dessert of fine cheeses and seasonal fruit overlooking a stunning vista from a secret spot, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the Shire to conclude your adventure.
