St David's Park 100th birthday garden party

Next date: Friday, 13 November 2026 | 10:00 AM to 01:00 PM

Join us and celebrate the hundredth anniversary of St David's Park in Hobart.

To mark the occasion we are putting on a free garden party with Devonshire tea and a brass band playing in the rotunda.

A Tasmanian string folk band will also put on a show.

Tables and chairs will be provided beneath the rotunda while the bands play, and as Devonshire tea is served.

Let us know you are coming by booking a free ticket on Humanitix.

Actors in period costume will roam the park, transporting the audience back in time to when this park was first unveiled to the public 100 years ago.

We will also have special guest speakers talking about the cultural and heritage significance of the park over the past 100 years as well as some of the more interesting trees planted in St David's.

The event will include the ceremonial planting of two giant sequoia trees to replace the two lost earlier this year.

This is a great chance to explore the history of one of Hobart's most beautiful and important parks.
