Wētā Workshop in Wellington is home to an entire community of creative artisans who have brought life to films such as The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit Trilogies, King Kong, The Chronicles of Narnia, Avatar, and many others. 

The Wellington tourism team

Our tour experiences, creative workshops, and event offerings are our chance to share our creativity with the world, offering visitors up-close experiences into the craftsmanship that happens within our workshop every day. At our Wētā Cave retail store guests can purchase props, merchandise and collectibles. The coolest thing about the items we sell? They are designed and made by the same artists who make the epic stuff you see in films.

Here's the deal

As the awesomely approachable face of Wētā Workshop, you'll be rubbing shoulders with not only the most passionate and dedicated fan base on the planet, but families, film fans, and guests from all over the world.

You'll be energetic and charismatic and have a love for creativity in all its forms and represent and showcase Wētā Workshop to our beloved guests.
