Sunday 18th April 2010 will be the 10th anniversary of the Derwent Valley Festival. Now the largest event in the Derwent Valley, the Festival includes free non-stop entertainment for the whole family. In April 2009 we had around 600 entertainers across four stages including bands, dancers, singers and choirs. Over 100 stalls including local fine food and wine, arts, crafts and produce, plus a variety of special displays provide something for the whole family.

"Come and enjoy a free family fun day out."

Visitors are welcome to inspect vintage Tasmanian locomotives and rolling stock, many of which are in various stages of restoration. Prior appointments recommended.

Wander the streets around New Norfolk and see the Historic Buildings.

Visit Pulpit Rock Lookout, and take a few photos of the Derwent River and the Valley, views from here are spectacular.

Salmon Ponds is the oldest heritage Trout Hatchery in the Southern Hemisphere. Visually spectacular, it is surrounded by beautiful gardens housing six ponds where you can, view and feed the fish, or dine at the famous Pancakes By The Ponds restaurant. Open daily 9am-5pm.
