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! 

Lightscape

Lightscape

Lightscape 2025 is lighting up Kings Park and Botanic Garden once again. Returning with an all-new experience, this dazzling after-dark event transforms the park into an illuminated wonderland, exploring the theme of natural attraction. With over 20 art installations from national and international artists alike, the lightscape trail is set to be more magical than ever before.

Wander through tunnels of radiant colour, past glowing bush blossoms and beneath towering illuminated flowers, all set to an immersive soundscape. Top off your night with mulled wine, toasted marshmallows and delicious bites — the ultimate winter activity!

Sea to Suburbia Exhibition

Sea to Suburbia: A Visual Time Capsule of WA

Step into Western Australia’s past through four decades of mesmerising photography at Sea to Suburbia. Hosted at the National Archives of Australia, this exhibition captures sun-drenched beaches, bustling suburbs, and the evolution of industry, all while challenging how we view urban development today. From nostalgia to newfound perspectives, it’s a must-see for history buffs and curious minds alike.

Until 28th November, 2025

Hidden De Tours New Brewery Experience  

Perth-based touring company Hidden de Tours has launched a new tour offering, exploring the breweries south of Perth in the Rockingham and Peel regions. Kicking off once a month, the five-hour tour includes visits to three brewpubs, with tastings and lunch included—and all the action is unfolding this Sunday. The breweries include FOUND.LAB in Byford, King Road Brewery in Oldbury, and The Brewship in Yangebup, and the tour includes guided beer tasting sessions with beer experts, behind the scenes brewery tour, and a brewery lunch.  

Melt

A brand new wellness space, Melt, has arrived in Subiaco. Think catching up with the girls for cocktails, but instead of margaritas, you’re sweating it out together and plunging into ice-cold bliss.
