Lunch on the Lawns at Government House

Everyone is invited to bring a picnic and join us at Government House for Lunch on the Lawns during Hobart’s warmer months.

Come and spend a Friday afternoon enjoying the beauty of the Government House gardens, while enjoying music from groups including the Australian Army Band Tasmania and the Royal Australian Navy Band.

This initiative is part of the Governor’s important community engagement role, making Government House and its gardens more accessible to the public. 

Visitors are welcome to bring their own food and drink, however in keeping with the family nature of the event alcohol is not permitted. Some seating will be available, but visitors are encouraged to bring rugs and camping chairs.

Unfortunately, pets are unable to attend, however service animals are welcome.

Parking is not available on site, however there is plenty of parking available in the nearby Domain area. Government House staff will also be on hand to facilitate access for those with mobility issues.
