Unshackled is an award-winning immersive digital exhibition that reveals the untold story of Australia's convict past. Unlike the popular narrative of punishment and chains, Unshackled tells the story of the Assignment System — where convicts earned their freedom through skill and labour. Through cutting-edge digital storytelling, visitors can connect with individual convict stories from the 160,000 men, women, and children transported to Australia. The exhibition brings the Assignment System to life through immersive projections, interactive displays, and deeply personal narratives. Housed in the purpose-built Nigel Peck Centre at Woolmers Estate, Unshackled is accessible in all weather and is included with combined admission tickets.

Tasmania's longest-running and largest Sunday market, the Evandale Sunday Market features an eclectic range of stalls including fresh produce, handcrafts, collectibles, antiques, and food stalls. It is located at Falls Park in the beautiful historic village of Evandale, close to Launceston and the Launceston airport, and operates between 8:00 am and 1:30 pm every Sunday.

In 2009 Farmy began with an honest and simple philosophy: if you couldn’t eat it, drink it, grow it, or meet the producer, then you wouldn’t find it at Farmy. That ethos has always held true. Now, that little carpark farmers’ market that began with just 12 producers now hosts a street-side seasonal cast of over 200, and has grown into an essential Sunday ritual for locals. We’re also acknowledged as one of the top five farmers’ markets in the country. Tasmania’s distinct growing seasons make for an ever-changing array of cool climate produce – that’s what we celebrate every Sunday. Staying true to what’s in season locally is reflected throughout the market on fresh produce stalls, in artisan foods and on street food vendors menus. Nestled in a groovy alcove in the middle of Farmy you’ll find the Grub Hub. This is where it’s at on Sunday in Hobart for breakfast, a cheeky brunch or lazy lunch, with all the hustle, bustle and smells of a street food market. Each Sunday you’ll find ten rotating street food vendors dishing up international cuisines with a local twist. See you Sunday.

Don Market, is one of the oldest markets on the northwest coast of Tasmania and has been operating for over 50 years in 2026. A dynamic, ever evolving market boasts both indoor and outdoor stalls(weather permitting). A great range of stalls - from fresh fruit and vegetables, to plant stalls, regular craft and makers products, new handbags, bric-a-brac and so much more and a sit-down or takeaway cafe in the back of the hall. They have regular weekly stallholders and also transient stalls which come alternate weeks or even just drop in once or just now and then. This adds to the interest and the market is usually not the same two weeks in a row. The hall itself shares some historical values, maintaining its old-fashioned façade and noticeboards of years gone by, and from the Don Memorial Hall, where the market is held, you can look across the road to the Don River and the popular Don Railway.

Come along to this country market held in the historic Town Hall, in the village of Ross. The Ross Village Market is open on the third Sunday of each month from 9.00 am.

The Ross Village Market is undercover, so no matter the weather outside, you can enjoy a good old-fashioned country market held in the Ross Town Hall. You'll find a range of items from local artists, creators and sellers. Just outside the Town Hall, find the fascinating story of the 42nd Parallel. Did you know there are not many bodies of land that sit on the 42nd Parallel. Tasmania does, and it's very close to Ross! While in Ross, enjoy the beautiful historic streetscape and buildings, heritage walk, museum, shops and eateries. Visit the Female Factory site- a women's convict prison, or discover the historic sandstone quarry high above the village.
