We ask that guests wear clothing appropriate for a family- friendly environment and highly recommend you also dress appropriately for the weather, with enclosed, suitable footwear. Clothing with objectionable or offensive writing or images are not permitted. Hobbiton Movie Set reserves the right to refuse entry to guests wearing items of clothing or costumes that may be considered offensive or have a negative impact on other Hobbiton Movie set guest's experiences.
Costumes are allowed and welcomed at Hobbiton Movie Set, although due to safety we only allow soft props on the premises. No weapons or accessories that have the potential to harm are permitted. Tours begin with a bus ride to the set so please ensure that your costume is appropriate and functional for this portion of your journey.
The outdoor walking tour through winding paths is part of the Hobbiton movie set. This is why we advise you to check the weather prediction before your visit and wear comfortable walking shoes for our tour. Metservice provides 10-day weather forecast data for the Matamata region.
Since the sun can get very hot during the summer, we advise wearing a hat and sunscreen in addition to drinking plenty of water. Because the paths might get muddy in the autumn, winter and spring, it's advisable to be ready with an outer layer that can withstand rain and shoes that are enclosed. You can use our wide umbrellas for the length of your tour in the event of rain.
Additionally, as our Movie Set is the ideal location for taking amazing vacation images, we advise visitors to bring a camera or a phone with camera functionality. Tripods and drones are not allowed.
