As darkness falls over the historic Buckland Church and its beautiful old cemetery, prepare to discover a world that has been quietly hiding on the gravestones for centuries.

Join internationally renowned marine biologist Dr Lisa Gershwin for a captivating after-dark experience that reveals the extraordinary life hidden in plain sight. Armed with ultraviolet lights, you'll explore the ancient gravestones as the remarkable lichens that cloak their surfaces suddenly glow with unexpected colours, transforming weathered sandstone into a living canvas.

More than just a nocturnal walk, this immersive tour uncovers the fascinating science and stories of these resilient organisms and their role in our environment, all while soaking in the rich history they have silently witnessed over generations at one of Tasmania's most treasured heritage churches.

This unique Glow Tour is a rare opportunity to see Buckland Church in a completely new light while supporting the ongoing conservation of this remarkable heritage site. Every ticket purchased helps preserve the church, cemetery and the stories they hold for future generations.

Come and experience history, science and nature glowing together under the Tasmanian night sky.
