Just a bit of info here:
Hobbiton will allow us to use their venue (in a provisional sense, all proposals go through the studio guys in Wellington) after they stop their tours. At that point we could potentially have it over night.
There is no clash with film crews, Hobbiton filming finished in December.
And if we run after hours then there is no clash with tourists. Potentially we can set up marquees and what have you and we’d have the entire set to ourselves.
Progress at this point is reliant on myself and a couple of others heading down to Hobbiton to scope logisitics with the Manager.
Then we put our proposal together, it goes to Wellington and if approved we could run a larp in Hobbiton.
