Escape the winter chill with your own private rooftop igloo



Dark Mofo and the Winter Feast are over, but there is still a whole lot more winter to come in Hobart. 

The Telgraph Hotel, whose meals were reviewed here a few weeks back, have the perfect solution for those who want to stay warm: igloos. 

The Telegraph has turned its rooftop into an orchard oasis, with cosy igloos, themed menu items, drink specials and serious water views. 

Suitable for two to eight guests, the igloos provide a warm escape from the cold and are described as being @suitable for any occasion, from date night to a catch-up with friends".

The igloos come complete with relaxed chairs, comfy cushions, blankets and heaters.

As a collab with Willie Smith’s Cider, the menu will showcase apple inspired drinks including mulled cider, mulled wine and The Tele’s own Hot Toddy.

The igloos are available to book for $15 per person, which includes a drink on arrival and bookings are highly recommended.


Think warming dishes like pan-fried saganaki with compressed apple salsa ($12), slow-smoked brisket croquettes with mustard aioli and pickles ($13) and salt and pepper squid with green apple aioli. 

The Telegraph Hotel’s Winter Orchard Edition Igloos will be on the rooftop until September 1.

Final edition for popular Tasmanian festival

 

One of Tasmania's most popular festivals will cease to exist after one final edition in 2024. 

The Huon Valley Mid-Winter Fest, will close after next year. organisers from Willie Smith's Cider said today. 

The island state has already seen Dark Mofo call a halt in 2024 for a "re-set" while the Targa Tasmania rally will not be held next year after several deaths in recent events. 

Willie Smith's said the final event - to run on July 12-13 - will be a "festival of reflection, where we will look back on Mid-Winter festivals past and celebrate with fire, feasting and hot cider for the very last time".

It added: "Everything that makes this festival great will return, welcoming back our favourite live musical acts, storytelling, pagan finery, rollickin' fun for the kids, the ancient Pagan ritual of Wassailing thee old apple tree, and, of course, watching Big Willie burn."

The 2024 Huon Valley-Winter Festival - which celebrates seasonal Pagan rituals - will be the 11th edition of the event that traditionally draws thousands of visitors to the deep south of Tasmania.
