Hobart Twilight Market

Hobart


Filling the lawns behind Lower Sandy Bay Beach (aka Long Beach; about 5km south of central Hobart), this summer market runs to a beat of waves and live music. The official line goes, 'eats, drinks, design, music', and you'll find hand-made clothing, crockery, jewellery, food, wine, and dog treats for the abundance of canines.

A courtesy shuttle to the market leaves from outside the waterfront office of Pennicott Wilderness Journeys at 5pm, 6pm and 7pm.
