An event at Hobbiton™ Movie Set is an experience to tantalize the senses of visitors, as guests find themselves engulfed in the sights, smells, sounds and tastes of The Shire™, as featured in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies.

Since 2012, we have been privileged to present The Green Dragon Inn as part of our experience. The Green Dragon Inn is an exceptional example of expert craftsmanship. 

Step inside the masterfully recreated pub, where the barrels are filled with our exclusive Southfarthing™ ale, stout, cider and ginger beer, a perfect match to any feast in The Shire™.

We have a delectable range of food available from our professional in-house catering staff, covering everything from canapés to a banquet feast fit for a Hobbit™.

The Green Dragon Inn is fully themed with indoor and outdoor fireplaces encouraging your guests to spread out into the beer garden beneath the glowing lanterns.

The Party Marquee is a fully themed, spacious location for large groups. The painted canvas exterior, vibrant bunting and colourful lanterns means your group will be immersed in the festive magic of the movies.

The Party Marquee is adjacent to The Green Dragon™ Inn, with the garden bar outside overlooking the Hobbiton™ Movie Set, providing an exquisite view for all our guests.

Like The Green Dragon Inn, the marquee has a fully licensed bar and catering is tailored to your event by our professional in house team.

Celebrate in true Middle-earth™ style on Yard Flat, our purpose built area built for large incentive groups. Yard Flat has a stunning view overlooking the set and towards the iconic Party Tree. This area is purpose built and can be altered and adapted to suit your group’s needs. The garden bar stretches out towards the set and comfortably sits on top of the Hobbit Holes making for a perfect evening in The Shire.

Yard Flat has been created to comfortably sit a 20x50m marquee which we can hire to put in place for your function.

The Marketplace is a bustling, vibrant experience to tantalise the senses of your visitors. Guests will find themselves engulfed in the sights, smells, sounds and tastes of The Shire™.

Situated by the Mill and a short stroll across the double arch stone bridge from The Green Dragon™ Inn is the Marketplace. Guests are invited to taste a real piece of New Zealand from individually themed stalls bursting with traditional Hobbit fare. The market stalls are catered to your guest’s requirements and can consist of New Zealand cheeses, freshly baked artisan breads, cured meats, smoked fish, and of course fresh produce from the Hobbiton™ gardens just to name a few.

Throughout the evening there will be roaming Middle-earth entertainment mingling amongst the guests. Our visitors are invited to move freely throughout the area and watch the carpenters, horse farriers and puppeteers go about their daily life. Among the stalls will be Hobbiton’s handcrafted barrel bars pouring the exclusive Hobbit™ Southfarthing™ range, a selection of Middle-earth™ wines and various non-alcoholic beverages.

As the sun sets over Hobbiton Movie Set the village will light up and provide a stunning backdrop for your celebration. 

The Marketplace is a unique and special experience offered exclusively to function groups.
