Construction on the Hobbiton Movie Set: A major and very exciting development project is underway at the Hobbiton Movie Set. This will increase the length of the Hobbiton Movie Set Tour by 30 minutes from 1 December 2023 with the resultant increase in the Hobbiton Entrance fee reflecting this. In the interim, it will impact tours between April-November 2023. Tours throughout this period will follow an alternate route around the construction zone and will not be able to see Bagshot Row, including Samwise Gamgee’s home. There will also be some construction noise and machinery on Set as work is underway transforming the hillside. You can read more about the Bagshot Row Project here.
