DEVILS & CANDLELIGHT: AN ENCHANTING EVENING AT UNZOO

Locals and visitors alike are invited to experience something truly special this October as the Tasmanian Devil Unzoo in Taranna hosts ‘Devils & Candlelight’, an exclusive after-dark wildlife tour followed by a stunning candlelit concert from Hobart’s acclaimed vocal ensemble, ThylaSing.

For two nights only, attendees will discover the Unzoo like never before. Led by expert guides, guests will learn about the mysterious lives of Tasmania’s most iconic creatures, including the strange and beautiful fact that Tasmanian Devils glow under UV light due to a rare biofluorescence phenomenon. It’s an eerie and unforgettable sight.

After the tour, guests will settle in under the stars and candlelight for a breathtaking performance by ThylaSing, known for their haunting harmonies and powerful stage presence.

Performed outdoors in the heart of the bush, this intimate concert promises to stir the senses and soul.

Whether you’re a wildlife lover, music enthusiast, or just looking for a one-of-a-kind experience on the stunning Tasman Peninsula, ‘Devils & Candlelight’ offers a night to remember.

These exclusive events are held as part of A Natural Escape – a three-week celebration of nature, the arts and community on the Tasman Peninsula from 6-26 October 2025.
