The Cat and Fiddle Arcade is a shopping mall and hub located in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia and covers a city block made up of about 17 buildings[2] at 49-51 Murray Street. It is accessible via the Icon Complex on Liverpool Street and the Elizabeth Street Mall, and also bounded by Collins Street. It is neighboured by other malls in the shopping precinct, including the Wellington Centre (via Wellington Court, it is anchored by a Woolworths[3]) across Elizabeth Street, and Centrepoint Shopping Centre across Murray Street which opened in 1979.[4]
Its name derives from an 1817 alley (now called Elizabeth Lane) near the Hobart Rivulet where an inn called the Cat & Fiddle operated until 1862.[5] Charles Davis Limited operated at this location from 1847 to 1984 (which acquired FitzGerald's Department Stores in 1981).[6] Major floods have affected the mall, including in 1929, 1947 and most recently in 2018. It received upgrades during 2013.[7]
The arcade is famous for its musical clock, which plays the Hey Diddle Diddle nursury rhyme with glockenspiel and vibraphone. Cat and Fiddle Square (the location of a food court) also occasionally holds other music events.[8] Along with at least 70 specialty stores, the mall contains a Myer and Target which each cover two levels.[9]
