We want you to be the 14th member of our adventure on The Wētā Cave’s 14th birthday!
On a Hobbit's birthday, the host gives the gifts, showering their guests with wonderful presents. For our birthday, we will be giving away gifts with tour bookings, a free display of our wonderful Wētā Workshop crew showcasing their skills, and discounts on products in the Cave. We can't wait to see you there!
