From birthday parties, weddings and intimate banquets, to large-scale incentive events and memorable conference dinner events, Hobbiton Movie Set offers a range of private function options to suit your needs.
THE GREEN DRAGON INN
The Green Dragon Inn was the meeting place for all residents of Hobbiton, who would gather in the warm surroundings of the bar to chatter about the day’s events. The quality of the ale and food was renowned throughout The Shire.
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 Bywater beer garden beneath the glowing lanterns.
THE PARTY MARQUEE
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.
THE MARKETPLACE
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 Millhouse 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. Among the stalls will be Hobbiton’s handcrafted barrel bars pouring the exclusive Hobbit Southfarthing range, a selection of 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.
YARD FLAT
Celebrate in true Middle-earth™ style on Yard Flat, our purpose built area built for large incentive groups with 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 MILLHOUSE
Introducing The Millhouse, our intimate, fully themed venue located on the movie set, just across the water from The Green Dragon Inn.
The Millhouse is an expertly crafted venue offering the same warm, inviting atmosphere of The Green Dragon Inn, but in a more intimate setting ideal for private dining experiences, small wedding receptions and corporate meetings.
The exposed wooden beam ceilings, crackling fireplace and curated decor set the scene, while the cleverly hidden AV technology, full commercial kitchen and bathroom facilities complete the function of the space as a self-contained, multi-use venue available for hire.
