Go to a game in London
A look into the heart of British culture
In Tolkien’s classic series of fantasy adventure books, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, most adventures begin in the fictional village of Hobbiton. For the first Lord of the Rings films, set builders spent nine months recreating the village on farmland near the small town of Matamata on New Zealand’s northern island. They since returned to spend two and a half years expanding it for Jackson’s new film, The Hobbit. (Matt Munro)
