Dreaming of the Shire? This hobbit tea time guide will give you and your halflings ideas for a delicious feast and hobbit-inspired party.
Cozy Up with These Hobbit Tea Time & Party Ideas
Welcome to the cozy and magical world of hobbits! If you’re a fan of good food, great company, and charming parties inspired by Middle-Earth, then you’ll love our Hobbit tea time and party ideas. Whether you’re planning a gathering for little hobbits or fellow Tolkien enthusiasts, we have everything you need to host a party worthy of the Shire!
Here’s what we’ve got in store for you:
A Simple, Yet Delicious Hobbit Tea Time (or Picnic)
In true hobbit fashion, no event is complete without plenty of delicious food and drink. Why not set the stage for an afternoon tea with a rustic hobbit menu? Think peasant bread, cheeses, fruit, mushrooms, and, of course, a steaming pot of tea…
Or you could pull together a simple spread like we did above:
- Mashed Potato Puffs
- Mushroom shortbread cookies
- Strawberries and Cream
- Hobbit Doors (Fudge Stripe Cookies with green icing & a yellow M&M for the knob)
- Frodo Fingers (Vienna sausages, a slightly morbid take from LOTR)
- Pretzel rings (representing the One Ring to rule them all)
- Gollum’s Fish (Goldfish crackers)
- Gollum’s Worms (Gummy worms)
Or create an elaborate tea time, including this “Hobbit Hole” cake (below) like Olivia made.
Add in Some Poetry with Your Hobbit Tea Time
The Road Goes Ever On,
by J.R.R. Tolkien
Roads go ever ever on,
Over rock and under tree,
By caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains in the moon.
Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star,
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known.
The Road goes ever on and on,
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
The Road goes ever on and on
Out from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
Let others follow it who can!
Let them a journey new begin,
But I at last with weary feet
Will turn towards the lighted inn,
My evening-rest and sleep to meet.

Make Your Own Middle Earth Map
Most hobbits enjoy the simple life at home by a cozy fire, or working out in the rich soil of their gardens. But Bilbo Baggins, being the son of Belladonna Took (that different branch of hobbits), went on the adventure of a lifetime! Then for years and years afterward, he created and poured over maps of Middle Earth.
Here’s a great video to show you how to make your own Middle Earth map:

Farewell, wherever you fare till your eyries receive you at the journey’s end!
Olivia and I absolutely loved dressing up as hobbits…we repurposed our floral and woodland fairy crowns from this post. (You’ll need to scroll down almost to the bottom to watch the free tutorial there.)
