Second Breakfast Tour

You've already had breakfast, but what about second breakfast? Enjoy a shared tour of the Movie Set followed by a hearty breakfast spread served inside the Millhouse. 

As one of our first tours of the day, you will make the first footsteps in the morning dew as you journey past the colourful Hobbit Hole™ doors that scatter the hillsides, including the iconic Bag End, home of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, before arriving at Bagshot Row™ for a glimpse of the interior of a humble Hobbit’s home.

Designed and crafted by the renowned creative teams behind the film trilogies, Bagshot Row offers an authentic glimpse into the charming dwellings of Hobbits going about daily life in the Shire. Your guide will lead you through one of two Hobbit Holes offering time to explore the detailed interiors, with each home designed to create an identical experience.  

Continue along the pathways past The Millhouse, across the double-arch stone bridge and into the world-famous Green Dragon™ Inn where you will be offered a complimentary beverage from our exclusive Hobbit™ Southfarthing™ range. Explore the intricately detailed Inn and relax in front of the crackling fireplace while we prepare your second breakfast feast.

Follow your guide back over the double arch stone bridge to The Millhouse, just across the water from The Green Dragon Inn, where you will be treated to a breakfast spread fit for a Hobbit. The breakfast table will be heaped with seasonal fresh fruit, breads, pastries, preserves and cold meats. A hot breakfast selection featuring an assortment of a Hobbit's favourite breakfast staples including fluffy scrambled eggs, streaky bacon, potatoes, grilled sausages and rosemary mushrooms will be available.

Coffee and tea will be available throughout, as you enjoy the rustic, intimate interiors of the Old Mill. After you've had your fill, it's time to make your way back through the wandering paths of The Shire and return to The Shire's Rest, after all, this is only the second of a Hobbit's seven daily meals!

Second Breakfast Tour includes

  • A fully guided tour of Hobbiton Movie Set
  • A visit to The Green Dragon Inn with your first Hobbit Southfarthing beverage upon arrival
  • A second breakfast spread in The Millhouse featuring continental and hot items
  • Coffee and tea served inside The Millhouse during second breakfast 

Numbers are limited, so bookings are essential. Please advise any dietary requirements you may have at time of booking in the provided field.

Frequently Asked Questions

View All
  • What is The Shire's Rest™?

    The Shire's Rest is our headquarters and location where all of our tours depart from. It is located at 501 Buckland Road, Hinuera, Matamata - click here for directions

    It is located approximately 15 minutes from Matamata town centre, and from here it is about a 10 minute bus ride to the Movie Set which is included in our tours.

    You do not need to book a tour to visit The Shire's Rest. On site here at The Shire's Rest is our Ticketing Centre, Retail Shop and Cafe. There is ample parking here on site, with plenty of space for large vehicles and camper vans too. 

  • What does 'No Departure' or 'Fully Booked' mean when searching for tour on your website?

    When you are searching for a tour on our website, there are four statuses that may appear - No Departure, Fully Booked, Book Now - Limited Places and Book Now. 

    No Departure means that the tour experience you are searching for is not available on that date. 

    Fully Booked means that all tickets for that tour experience on that date are sold out. 

    Book Now - Limited Places will appear with a gold button and red writing below. This means that there are only a small amount of tickets left (9 or less) for that tour experience on that date. We recommend booking as soon as possible if you are hoping to join one of these tours as when tickets are fully booked we cannot increase capacity. 

    Book Now will appear with a gold button with white writing on it. This means that there are greater than 10 seats available for that tour experience on that date. We still recommend pre-booking as far in advance as you can to avoid missing the tour day and time that best suits your itinerary. 

  • Does the Evening Banquet Tour and Second Breakfast Tour include the Movie Set Tour or do I need to book both to have the full experience?

    Our Evening Banquet Tour and Second Breakfast Tour experiences both include a guided tour of the Movie Set at the beginning of the experience. This is the same tour experience guests get on our day tour. If you wish to do a tour at a different time of day as well, then you are welcome to book multiple experiences. 

  • Will my tour still operate in wet weather?

    Yes, we operate in all weather conditions. Umbrellas are provided in the event of rain and we highly recommend you dress appropriately for the weather, with enclosed footwear.

    In the event of extreme weather conditions we reserve the right to make alternative tour arrangements for you.

  • What happens if I am late for my tour?

    If you are going to be late for your tour, we recommend you call us as soon as you are able to so we can discuss options with you. If you are unable to call us and arrive late, we will do our best to put you on the next available tour departure. Please note that if we are extremely busy, the next available tour may be several hours later, and in rare occurrences may not be on the same day.
