What's On in Perth This Weekend: Events to Add to Your Calendar

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! 

Enter the World of Oz at WICKED the Musical

Everyone's talking about WICKED since the movie has just been released in cinemas, so there's no better time for WICKED the Musical to land in Perth! This is one of the world's most popular musicals for a reason. Telling a story of friendship, love, belonging and self-worth, WICKED is heartwarming watch that defies—and exceeds—our expectations.

While the movie is a beautifully magical (no spoilers here) ode to the musical, you won't be able to wholeheartedly enjoy the film without seeing the quirks of this unique stage performance first. Plus, Courtney Monsma (Glinda) and Sheridan Adams (Elphaba) bring out the very best in each of their characters. It's a musical you won't forget!

Sunday 15th December to Thursday 16th January

Check out the Brand New DISSH Store in Claremont or Karrinyup

Beloved Australian womenswear brand DISSH has expanding its bricks and mortar footprint into WA this summer, with a location at the premium shopping destination Claremont Quarter and a new store in Karrinyup.

The new space uniquely blends urban sophistication with a coastal charm, with large windows, tactile travertine and the soft movement of draped sheer fabric. It's the perfect excuse for a shopping trip!
