The tourism division of Weta Workshop – the team behind Sir Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit blockbuster movies – has expanded to meet demand from the conference, events and incentives market.

With delegates eager for behind-the-scenes experiences, Weta has a renewed focus on customisable group filmmaking events.

Weta Studio Tours works with event organisers to immerse groups in the creativity behind the movie magic. Immersive behind-the-scenes tours are integrated with hands-on activities taught by Weta Workshop crew.

Events with Weta Studio Tours take place at a range of facilities on the Miramar Peninsula, outside Wellington. Among them are Weta Workshop’s off-premises space for groups of up to 100 people, which includes a tour section where guests can explore the world of Weta Workshop, as well as space for activities, presentations and demonstrations.

Weta Studio Tours events can be tailormade to a range of budgets and can be hosted off-site, with groups of almost any size.
