Happy weekend, Perth! The long work week has officially come to a close, but that doesn't mean it's time to stay at home and become a hermit.
We've decided to bring together the very best of what's on in Perth this weekend, to make planning out the perfect Saturday and Sunday that much easier. Go forth and have fun!
The Old Apple Shed Markets
Join in on market day fun the last Saturday of every month at The Old Apple Shed Markets, bringing those good old-fashioned farmers markets vibes to Core Cider. Each month is a showcase from a range of local producers and artisan makers...and from opening time they'll have the coffee machine cranking! Make a day of it, bring family or friends, and let the kids run about whilst you enjoy pizzas and casual eats from the Cider Garden bar, or book into the Orchard Bistro for lunch.
Last Saturday of every month
10.00am to 2.00pm
Time by Rone
Time is an unmissable art experience at the Art Gallery of Western Australia that takes immersive art to the next level. Acclaimed street artist, Rone, will be exhibiting his work at AGWA for the very first time, allowing locals and tourists alike to get lost in his art. This exhibition breathes life into AGWA, filling 12 rooms with Rone's art that delves into excavating meaning from the everyday, as well as the lifelong search for beauty in decay.
Until 30th September
Perth Cultural Centre, Perth
Nom Nom Festival
Nom Nom: Leederville’s food, wine and music festival is back, bringing dozens of collaboration dinners, food and drink masterclasses, weekly activations and more to Leederville across six weeks in winter. This indulgent foodie festival has grown since last year, with over 35 separate events at 13 different venues throughout Leederville, beginning with a Pisco Masterclass and Peruvian Food Journey at Lima Cantina, Servo’s four-course menu set inspired by the Nyoongar calendar Tucker:Vol III, and Singapore Hawkers’ Nights at Naber. There’s also plenty for the wine and booze enthusiasts, as well as mid-week merrymaking and budget-friendly fun, and more running all festival long. Tickets are on sale now.

Kuld Crumble at Kuld Creamery
The perfect winter warmer to sink your teeth into this weekend in Perth. Kuld Creamery has launched a cosy, Perth-first dessert: the Kuld Crumble. Enjoy a delightful blend of warm spiced apple or stewed berry, topped with golden shortbread crumble, velvety custard, and a scoop of Kuld’s artisanal ice cream. Inspired by the founders' North American roots, it's the perfect combination of US-inspired pie and UK-style fruit crumble.
11 Essex Street, Fremantle & 8/10 Roe Street, Northbridge
To The Moon
This is about as close to the moon as you're going to get (at least for a very long time). WA Museum Boola Bardip hasn't quite stolen the moon (sorry, Gru), but they've replicated it quite well for their latest exhibition: 'To The Moon.' This exhibition prompts you to soar through the Moon’s hidden craters and enigmatic valleys. To The Moon is an intersection between science, art and digital mediums, and is spellbinding to witness.
Until 7th October
