The Party Field was a large field south of Bag End's front door adjacent to Bagshot Row near Hobbiton.

History

In the preparations for Bilbo's 111th birthday party, a special entrance was cut into the bank, and a large white gate and steps connected it to the road, and an open-air kitchen was installed in its north corner, manned with cooks from many inns and taverns of the vicinity.

The field was covered with tents and pavilions; underneath the largest pavilion was the Party Tree, a decorated tree that stood at the head of the table. Bilbo made his farewell speech beneath it.

After the destruction of the Party Tree by Sharkey and his Ruffians, Samwise Gamgee planted a mallorn tree, upon his return from the Quest of the Ring and it blossomed on 6 April Third Age 3020 Afterwards it was used for holidays and celebrations by the Hobbits of that region including a new holiday celebrated on April 6.
