The Redwater Creek Steam and Heritage Society offer a heritage rail experience through the regular operation of a century-old Krauss locomotive. The train leaves each half-hour from the restored Sheffield railway station from 11 am to 4 pm on the first full weekend of each month. The Railway Coffee Shop is open while the train is running, with a nice coffee and hot chocolate. Come on in and try them! The Railway began as a community building enterprise in 1993 and is well regarded for the restoration and preservation of steam-era machinery and local history. The steam museum onsite houses a comprehensive member's collection of working steam engines which can be viewed on running days. The Railton-Roland line opened in 1914, offering daily passenger and twice-weekly goods services until 1957. The Sheffield Steam and Heritage Centre Railway retains this heritage in an authentic environment. A Miniature train and a number of different model gauge trains are also open on these running weekends.

Each Westella Sunday School explores a different Pinot Noir theme, diving deeper into either barrel aged Pinot or sparkling Pinot (Blanc de Noir or Vintage Rosé) crafted entirely from this versatile variety. They always source four Pinot Noir wines from further afield to line up alongside two vintages of the Westella Pinot. There's always a board of Tasmanian cheeses to share to amplify those Pinot flavours, too. The Sunday Schools are small, informal, relaxed and the perfect way to dip your toe into learning a little more about this fabulous variety. All opinions are welcome, and they love that by the end of each session, everyone is freely joining in the conversation, making new friends and feeling a little wiser about Pinot Noir. Westella Sunday School is a safe space for all wine lovers, whether you are just starting out on your friendship with wine or you have devoted considerable energy investigating Pinot over the years! You can be sure though, Sunday School will always investigate Pinot, Westella is 100% Pinot Noir, after all. If your idea of relaxed Sunday afternoons includes sipping and chatting about wine while enjoying outstanding Tasmanian cheeses (with friends!), then join in.

Welcome to a day of creative mindfulness with David and Michelle of Phoenix Creations. In their small studio tucked away just two minutes from Cygnet's main street, David will share his talent, by guiding you through the steps of making a wooden spoon from scratch. With your very own clever hands, you will use recycled vintage or green timber straight from a tree, to create your spoon. All are welcome, from absolute beginners to those wishing to hone their craft. You will work alone in a private workshop or can work with up to 4 others- family and friends or slot into a group of singles and make new friends. Perfect for corporate team building too! Each workshop includes tuition, timber to carve, use of all tools and a delicious morning tea. A break is taken for lunch, so bring your own or head down to one of the charming cafes in Cygnet. Workshops are run by demand every day and can be booked online, at the studio or by phone. Upcoming workshops are also announced on our Facebook and Instagram pages. Warning: Spoon Carving is Addictive!

'Antarctica is Melting' presents a powerful selection of black and white photographs by Australian wilderness photographer David Neilson, drawn from six journeys to Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic between 1990 and 2009. Across images of ice, rock, sea and sky, Neilson captures the scale, beauty and atmosphere of one of the world's most remote regions. His photographs are quiet and carefully observed, inviting viewers to slow down and spend time with a landscape many people may never see in person. The exhibition also carries an urgent environmental message. Antarctica is often imagined as untouched, distant and beyond human reach, but Neilson's work reminds us that even this vast region is being reshaped by climate change. The images offer a way to reflect on what is happening in the far south, not through statistics or headlines, but through attention to place, texture, weather and light. For Hobart, Antarctica is not simply a distant continent. It's part of the city's maritime identity, connected through vessels, research, institutions and the working waterfront. In this context, 'Antarctica is Melting' speaks directly to Tasmania's long relationship with the Southern Ocean and the Antarctic region. The exhibition invites visitors to consider Antarctica as both a place of extraordinary beauty and a region whose future is closely tied.

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.

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.
