Over 125 Years of Sweet Craftsmanship

Since 1896, Gourlay’s Sweet Shop has been delighting generations with our handcrafted, high-quality sweets — made right here in Launceston, Tasmania. From our earliest days, we’ve stayed true to the original recipes, traditional techniques, and even the same historic equipment that’s been part of our factory for more than a century.

Our passion for excellence and dedication to craftsmanship has never wavered. Every sweet is made with care, preserving the heritage and unique character that sets Gourlay’s apart. Whether it’s the sparkle of sugar on a freshly made boiled lolly, the rich aroma of melted chocolate, or the satisfying crunch of honeycomb, every product tells a story of time-honoured skill and love for the craft.
