Carols on the Hill 2024

Join us on Saturday, 7 December 2024!

The Archdiocese of Hobart warmly welcomes you to Carols on the Hill.

Supported by the City of Hobart, ‘Carols on the Hill’ is a free, traditional outdoor carols event designed for families to share the joyful spirit of Christmas. 

Staged at Guilford Young College oval (Hobart Campus), this cosy venue is perfect for a family picnic. There will be food vans onsite and activities for children. The Carols on the Hill concert will feature local musical artists performing many well-known Christmas carols and songs. The lighting of the candles as dusk descends on the city is sure to make a memorable night. 

In support of CatholicCare, you are invited to donate unwrapped gifts to be placed in our Christmas activity area. These donations support those experiencing financial hardships during the festive season. You may like to consider donating toys and games, bags, outdoor equipment, movie vouchers, gift cards, beach towels, non-perishable food items and toiletries.

To help reduce waste and our environmental impact, we encourage you to bring reusable and biodegradable picnic items such as plates, bowls, coffee cups, and water bottles. You may also like to enter our Francis Picnic Competition. From 5:30 pm to 6:45 pm, our picnic judge will walk around looking for the best waste-free picnic.
