From boozy long lunches and bustling markets to the opportunity to step back in time, there is something for everyone. So go on, share this with the group chat ASAP, and have fun! 

All Weekend

Vesla Studio Opens

Double down on wellness this weekend, ’cause yet another luxe new soak and steam house is opening its doors (we truly are spoilt). Vesla Studio is Nordic-inspired through and through, with a spacious Finnish sauna, warm and cold plunge baths, and integrated yoga and Pilates sessions to round out your restorative experience. It opens in Subiaco this Saturday, with casual drop in sessions now bookable online.

Merse Wellness Spa Opens

Opening this Friday, Osborne Park’s Merse Wellness Spa is a serene escape from the everyday, unlike anything else in Perth. Inside the stylish Mediterranean-inspired bathhouse, you’ll find Perth’s largest hot magnesium pool, thermal and infrared saunas, a calming salt room, cold plunge experiences (including an ice fountain and monsoon showers), sound healing, LED light therapy, and more. Walk in stressed, float out renewed and rejuvenated — Merse is the new benchmark for holistic recovery and relaxation.

From Nonna with Love: Stories of Tradition and Triumph

A celebration of family, food and the women who shaped Western Australia’s Italian community, WA Maritime Museum’s latest exhibition feels like a warm hug from home. Step into Nonna’s kitchen and discover stories of migration, resilience and tradition brought to life through personal mementos, photographs and the comforting nostalgia of home-cooked meals.

Until Monday 20th April

Picnics At Yanehep’s Lavender Estate

Located only 40 minutes from Perth, Yanchep’s dreamy Lavender Estate has just reopened and primed for spring picnics and play dates. Right now, you’ll find thousands of ornamental lavender varieties on show, with the full burst to come through over summer. Plus, seasonal experiences like distillery tours and botanical cocktails, and a gorgeous Devonshire tea, complete with lavender scones. Before you go, grab a scoop of lavender ice cream and stroll through the gorgeous gift shop.

Terracotta Warriors, Legacy of the First Emperor

If you still haven’t seen the Terracotta Warriors, Legacy of the First Emperor exhibition on now at the WA Museum Boola Bardip, get to it. With more than 225 ancient artefacts on display and cutting-edge digital experiences, this daring exhibit takes you back 2000 years to the Qin dynasty, telling the story of its rise and impact in China. With some artefacts leaving China for the first time, this is your chance to witness a legacy.
