After Dark

It’s in the stars

Your ultimate guide to a night in Launceston

Buzzing beer halls, fine dining on the water, and strolls by lamplight. Curtains rising to packed theatres, the hum of live music, and festivals attracting crowds throughout the year. The evening’s far from over – time for a cocktail at the bar and a boogie on the dance floor to round out the night.

This is Launceston after dark, and it sure beats staying in.

Showtime!

Some of Launnie’s best arts and culture events take place after nightfall. Concerts and theatre productions light up local stages throughout the year – see what’s on at Theatre North. Major annual celebrations such as Festivale and Junction Arts Festival draw crowds to our city parks. Local bars host live music, trivia and drag nights, while Village Cinemas offers late-night showings of the latest must-see flicks.

Evening exploration

Keen to explore? Group tours are a great way to watch Launnie transform as day turns to night. Uncover hidden tales on a fascinating guided walking tour with Launceston by Foot, or pedal the city's historic streets on a leisurely sunset ride with the Tamar Bicycle Users Group.

Something sweet

Seeking a dessert spot to satisfy those post-dinner cravings? Piece of cake. Settle into Charlie's Dessert House for a decadent dine-in experience, or stop in at Cold Rock Ice Creamery for a smashing combination of your favourite flavours and toppings.
