Spiegeltent

A Spiegeltent! A Spiegeltent! A Spiegeltent in Hobart!
As a Brisbane ex-​pat I’ve missed the beautiful travelling Spiegeltents stopping in once a year as part of the Brisbane festival. Until 2014, Hobart had never seen one – but thanks to those event creators extraordinaire at Ten Days on the Island, in their festival down-​time this year (Ten Days is every second year) they instead brought DAS SPIEGELTENT!
And with the Hobart Spiegeltent in March 2014 came a collection of all my favourite acts from previous years in Brisbane’s tent, so I was over the moon, to say the least. And doling out my opinion of each show left, right and centre!
As well as the daily and nightly performances that ran for a couple of weeks down in front of the looming PW1 building, Hobart’s Spiegeltent also played host to a mini food festival, with Smolt restaurant running a pop-​up restaurant and bar full of delicious things like the most amazing salted caramel sauce I’ve ever dunked a churro in and far, far more.
Word on the street is that things went so well, a Spiegeltent should be back again in the next off year… if not sooner.
Good things are happening, Hobart!
