We are thrilled to announce a fantastic partnership between the world-famous Hobbiton Movie Set and Project Play Matamata! This August, Hobbiton is offering an exclusive opportunity for Matamata locals to experience the magic of Middle-earth at a special reduced rate. Even better, all proceeds from these tours will be generously donated to the Matamata Domain Upgrade.

Experience Middle-earth at a Special Rate

For a limited time, Matamata residents can explore the enchanting Hobbiton Movie Set for just $25 per adult (free for children aged 10 and under). This special offer is a unique chance to wander through the lush pastures of the Shire, visit iconic locations like Bags End and the Green Dragon Inn, and immerse yourself in the world of hobbits, wizards, and adventure.

Support the Matamata Domain Upgrade

By participating in this special locals-only event, you’ll not only enjoy an unforgettable experience but also contribute to a worthy cause. Every dollar from the August locals’ tours will go directly towards the Matamata Domain Upgrade, helping us create a vibrant, inclusive community hub that caters to people of all ages.

About the Matamata Domain Upgrade

The Matamata Domain Upgrade, also known as Project Play, is a comprehensive initiative to revitalize our community space. Our vision includes:

•       A fully fenced junior zone for our youngest community members
•       A senior area with a feature tower, hamster wheel and flying fox
•       A teen zone with a basketball court and social seating
•       A family zone with sheltered BBQs and picnic tables

This upgrade will transform the Matamata Domain into a destination for play, relaxation, and community gatherings, ensuring it remains a beloved space for generations to come.

Join Us in Making a Difference

We invite all Matamata residents to take advantage of this incredible offer and help us achieve our goal. By visiting Hobbiton during the August locals days, you’ll be playing a crucial role in bringing the Matamata Domain Upgrade to life.
