At Hobbiton Movie Set, we’re committed to keeping The Shire looking as magical as it did on screen. To ensure the Hobbit Holes and wider landscape are preserved for generations to come, our team will be carrying out ongoing maintenance and restoration projects across the Movie Set.
From time to time, this work may involve some construction machinery, maintenance equipment, and some noise being present around the set during tours however we will carefully work in contained areas with as little disruption to the visitor experience as possible. Tours will continue to run as normal throughout these projects, and you’ll still enjoy the full Hobbiton experience — with the added chance to see some of the behind-the-scenes care that goes into maintaining this iconic film location.
As our team works their way around the 44 Hobbit Holes and beyond, these efforts will safeguard the magic of Hobbiton for years to come. The projects are designed to protect the intricate details of the Hobbit Holes and stabilise the hills they’re nestled into, ensuring that the set remains true to the films and ready to be enjoyed long into the future.
