Let’s travel together.

International Hobbit Day, New Zealand

Fancy a pint of handcrafted ale and a feast where second helpings are encouraged ? On Saturday 22, September at the world-famous Hobbiton Movie Set near the Waikato town of Matamata in New Zealand you can enjoy all that and more as Bilbo and Frodo Baggins’s special day is celebrated in style. Festivities at the five-hectare (12-acre) site will include a guided tour at dusk and a specially created event and party marquee area with individually themed stalls offering traditional Hobbit fare. Guests will be entertained by roaming minstrels and at the Green Dragon Inn, where Hobbits traditionally gather to chatter about the day, the Hobbit South farthing range of traditional ales, apple cider and non-alcoholic ginger beer will be on tap and there.
