Kathy is perhaps the most dedicated and loyal Lord of the Rings fan that we've ever met, and her story combined with the incredible people that she has met and corresponded with is definitely worth hearing about. She has an amazing fan-made room, filled with all types of LOTR and Hobbit memorabilia.
If you're a small group, reach out to her to set up a private meeting and she'll share with you her incredible fan adventure in a 30 minute video with in-person commentary, along with up to 2-3 hours of amazing costume photos with pieces she, and her friends, created themselves as well as a few special items that were donated from other fans or lent to her to show in her home.

Tolkien - then you'll be in great company and understand her dedication. Just look at these photos and see how much fun...
Read moreThe One Room Fan Museum is an amazing experience for any Lord of the Rings fan. The owner, Kathy, is super nice and sweet and will make sure you have a great time.

You can tell how unique and heartfelt the museum is the minite you step inside. Incredible history of avid fans seeing a beloved book become a big movie and a bigger takove of NZ, from kiwi & welly perspective. It wasn't too far from the city, only 15 min bus ride, so great for ppl w/out a car too. A special piece of Wellywood. must-see experience. The costumes are stunningly handcrafted and make you feel like a elf princess or humble hobbit.
