What’s On In Hobart This Week, Month And Beyond

Autumn days are shorter and we're all gearing up for Tassie's winter (hello, Dark Mofo), but Hobart doesn't slow down when the cold starts creeping in. The city's alive with music, art, festivities - and, always, good food.

Here's our pick for the best things to do in Hobart this week, month and beyond.

What's On In Hobart August 2026 and Beyond

Grow your garden at the Agrarian Kitchen Spring Seedling Sale

New Norfolk | September 5

The much-anticipated seedling sale is back! From 11am-2pm on Saturday, September 5, avid gardeners can head to New Norfolk and pick up some specialty sprouting seedlings for just $2 each. Planting a little bit of Agrarian Kitchen’s famous garden in your own backyard, how great is that? Bring your own box or tray to carry your new plants home, or you can buy one on the day. Bookings are essential and this one fills up fast? (They've also got spots left in some upcoming cooking classes, like puff pastry, pasta and sausage workshops).

Father's Day

Hobart and surrounds | September 6

It's time to celebrate the father figures in your life! Callington Mill House Of Whisky has a Father's Day Feast on the cards, with share-style dishes and a fun photobooth. Dad can get a free pint and gift when he dines at Irish Murphy's. Treat him to a char-grilled wilderness scotch fillet with Asian-inspired flavours at Mr Good Guy. Head out to Willie Smith's Apple Shed in Huon for a delicious brunch of share platters and cider. Or take him to Telegraph Hotel for a Sunday Roast and the footy. There's always a trip to Farm Gate Market and a picnic on kunanyi/Mt Wellington, for the outdoorsy dads. Let's make it special!

Urban Cocktail Trail

Hobart | October 10

Bar crawl, but make it an urban adventure. The Urban Cocktail Trail takes you on a sip-by-sip journey through some of Hobart's best bars and restaurants. This self-guided tour de tipple kicks off at your chosen venue with a snack and a drink, before you wind your way through the city. This year's lineup features Callington Mill House of Whisky, Manky Sally's (the famous spicy Yuzu Marg awaits!), The Story Bar, Telegraph Hotel, Susie Luck's, Kingfisher and Kelp Bar. Every spot will show off its unique skill with a totally different drink. Because it's a choose-your-own-adventure, you can book your ticket for anywhere between three and six cocktails, with a $10 food voucher and booking fee. Head here to grab your tickets.

Lassù returns to Wrest Point

Hold your horses! Lassù is returning to Wrest Point Friday 15 January, before moseying on North to Launceston’s Country Club for Friday 5 February.

It's a cosmic cowboy cabaret of acrobatics, burlesque and dance, with a healthy flourish of circus arts. One for cowpokes and creatives alike, the Old West comes to Wrest in a shower of glitz, flame and athletic prowess. Adults only, so find a babysitter and make it a date night - might as well upgrade to a cabaret table with a bottle of bubbles, to get the absolute most out of your time together.

Back by popular demand, this expanded season will run for 22 shows across both cities. Don't sit on it: this show almost sold out on the first run, and there's a lot of hype this time! See tickets for Wrest Point and Country Club.
