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. From bottomless pasta sessions to vintage fashion markets, mixology masterclasses and the return of Scarborough's winter markets, there's a lot to enjoy about the coming days of leisure.
Here are the best Perth events to check out this weekend.
School's Out Winter Fest
The City of Perth is back with another School's Out Winter Fest, a celebration of not only the school holidays kicking off, but also embracing the cooler weather. Over the course of two weeks, families will be able to enjoy a range of fun activities at the Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre including snow, rides, ice skating and more! If you can't make it during the day, there's also Winter Fest Nights, running from 7pm to 10pm so you can enjoy all the fun after dark!

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
