BEST TIME TO GO

Hobbiton is open all year round (except Christmas Day), with extended hours in the summer months. Be sure to book in advance, as tours can sell out at any time of year. Spring is a particularly beautiful season to visit, when the hobbit gardens are in full bloom.

If you’re a real LOTR lover, plan your visit for September 22, International Hobbit Day (and, of course, the birthday of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins).
