Hobbiton Movie Set COVID-19 Precautions

We will continue to follow the advice and regulations of the New Zealand government, and will continue to review our policies and processes regularly. 

Additional health and safety precautions in place to keep our visitors and staff safe:

  • Mask wearing. Face coverings are a personal choice for each person and we ask that those who do choose to wear a mask are respected. 
  • Maintain physical distancing. Please practice physical distancing from people you don't know.
  • Sanitise. Dispensers are located throughout our sites, and we’re also cleaning high touch surfaces regularly.
  • Follow Covid-19 health measures. Stay home if you’re sick, cover coughs with your elbow, and wash your hands regularly.
