What's On Thursday 23 October:
Starbucks Beeliar Opens With Free Cold Cups
Calling all java junkies! Starbucks Australia is set to open its latest addition to WA in Beeliar this Thursday, with a couple of extra-sweet twists. The first 200 customers from 5am will receive a free 16oz reusable Cold Cup, while Saturday and Sunday will see the new store offering 50% off all Frappuccino’s from 2pm-4pm. Big wins for early birds and late risers alike!
Of course, they’ll still be brewing up the Starbucks seasonal staples and limited edition Halloween range, so get your pumpkin spice on and head down to this brand new caffeine corner near Beeliar Village Shopping Centre.
Torno Subito at Post
For the first time, Massimo Bottura’s renowned Singaporean restaurant group Torno Subito is commandeering our very own Post restaurant this Thursday as part of the State Buildings’ 10th anniversary celebrations. With unique flair and a playful spin on Italian classics, Torno Subito will be dishing up a vibrant set menu that is sure to impress, with fresh seafood, creamy pasta and divine desserts being whipped up by the world-class culinary team.
Don’t miss the boat on this unprecedented dining extravaganza—book in quick for the $140 four course lunch or the $195 six course dinner (which can be paired with matching wines, naturally).
What's On Friday 24 October:
Fridayz Live at Langley Park
Australia’s biggest R&B and hip-hop festival Fridayz Live is hitting Perth once again this Friday, and this year they’re bringing a legendary setlist you do not want to miss. The doors open at Langley Park from 4:30pm, and will see iconic performers take the stage including Whiz Khalifa, Pitbull and close at 10pm with the woman of the hour, Mariah Carey.
There will also be plenty of bars, food and merch on offer, so nab your tickets through Ticketmaster and get ready to stomp your feet to some sick beats. Just keep in mind, this event is 18+ and a cash-free zone.
Global Champagne Day at The Shorehouse
There are champagne dinners, and then there’s Global Champagne Day at The Shorehouse. And with this marking the tenth Global Champagne Day celebration at the coastal venue, you best believe they’re gone all out.
Themed The Classics, The Shorehouse is revisiting a decade of its most-loved champagne pairings. We’re talking a five-course “best of” menu matched with eight world-class champagnes. Think Billecart-Salmon, Bollinger, Pol Roger, Laurent-Perrier and more, alongside reimagined favourites from past menus—like crab and prawn raviolo, Wagin duck, and triple cream brie with pear. Tickets are $295 per person, and given this dinner sells out every year, you’ll want to move fast.
Entwined In The Swan Valley at Elizabeth Quay
Why travel to the Swan Valley, when they can come to you? For the first time this Friday evening, the ‘Valley to the City’ event is coming to life at Elizabeth Quay in an animated showcase of the Swan Valley’s primo tastes and textures. They’ll feature cooking demonstrations, local produce, wine tastings and artisan goods from 5:30pm-9pm, all under the starry backdrop of Perth City.
The best bit is it’s totally free to attend, just register your interest online.

Check in to H&C Urban Winery this Sunday to celebrate Global Champagne Day, soiree style. This chic Freo winery is collabing with Top Up Wines to host the first ever Bubble Showdown where you get to taste your way through France’s best champagne and Australia’s strongest sparkling, playing judge and jury to decide which variety is truly the crème de la crème.
You’ll be chaperoned through your tasting by experts in the field, esteemed wine reviewer “The Wine Animal” and Top Up Wines’ Chris Masten, so you know you’re in good hands. Tickets are $110 per person, and include your curated champagne lineup, roaming canapes, $2 oysters all day, live music from DJ Brother B and some sweet wine giveaways.
Champagne Brunch with Emma Farrelly at State Cellar Wine Rooms
The only thing better than a regular brunch is one of the champagne variety, and when it’s hosted by the State Cellar Wine Room’s Director of Wine, Emma Farrelly, you know you’re in for a treat.
From 10:30am-2pm this Sunday, Emma will use her effervescent expertise to guide you through a tasting tour of eight champagnes from the iconic Houses of Champagne, alongside a luxurious three course fine dining menu. For $450 a ticket, you can fulfil your sommelier dreams and enjoy some of the most elegant champagne on offer, from Bollinger’s 2015 La Grande Année to Franck Bonville’s ‘Unisson’ Grand Cru. There are only a few tickets remaining, so you’ll need to act fast to get in on this Global Champagne Day celebration.
Spring Floral Workshop at State Buildings
Spring has absolutely sprung, as the State Buildings are continuing their 10th anniversary celebrations by hosting a Spring Floral Workshop this Sunday with florist expert Rebecca Const, from 10am-11:30am.
Encouraging free artistic expression in a relaxed environment, Rebecca will impart her flowery wisdom on beginners and veteran florists alike, teaching you what to look for when choosing your flowers, how to condition and handle them to get the best bloom possible, and how to construct your very own wabi-sabi bouquet. Your $250 ticket includes full access to florals and tools, and refreshments from Post restaurant to refuel after a morning of artistic pruning.
Pre-loved Markets Return To FOMO In Freo
Open-air markets season is officially back, and what better way to celebrate than by heading down to FOMO in Freo and perusing through the endless racks of Pre-loved clothes?
From 11am-3pm, you can bask in the sun while you look for your next iconic fashion piece that you can smugly tell people you thrifted. They’ve got the DJ’s, delicious Freo food stops, and over 100 sustainable fashion sellers, so all you need to do is find the time to pop in (free entry!).
Last Chance to Catch Plied & Prejudice Downstairs at The Maj
The comedic adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved novel has taken His Majesty’s Theatre by storm in 2025, and sadly, its final night is upon us this Sunday. Over the course of 90 minutes, Plied & Prejudice follows five actors playing twenty characters in a hilarious take on Lizzie and Darcy’s legendary love story, but with slightly more wet t-shirt contests than the original book.
If you need a sign from the universe, 2025 also happens to mark the 250th anniversary of the queen of wit herself, so why not pay your respects by booking your tickets (from $30) to this completely unrespectable theatrical performance? Jane would definitely approve.
All Weekend:
Central Park Plunge Turns Ten
From Friday to Sunday, Perth’s tallest CBD tower will be celebrating 10 years of its showstopping Central Park Plunge charity event. The annual fundraiser invites you to take the plunge and abseil 130 metres down Central Park Tower on St George’s Terrace, raising money for one of their 11 listed charities in the process. Over their decade of operation, the Central Park Plunge has raised $4.8 million for the WA community, so to celebrate this milestone, 2025 will see a ‘Plunge Lounge’ added at the base of the tower on Friday, with a DJ, juice bar and deck chairs, prime for spectating.
It’s recommended to register a team of four to descend in honour of your chosen charity, including Guide Dogs WA, Anglicare WA and the Fiona Wood Foundation. Entry is a $100 donation, and you can organise your own fundraiser for your friends and family to get behind too.
World Champagne Day at QT
World Champagne Day might officially be October 24th, but that isn’t stopping QT Hotel & Resorts and Perrier-Jouët Champagne House from popping corks all weekend. Based in deluxe dining venues Santini and Rooftop at QT Perth, guests are encouraged to take a seat and revel in all things champagne and sparkling. As a special treat, they’re also offering to treat you to a complimentary Perrier-Jouët pour once you’ve bought your own flute, so any bubble-lovers really don’t want to miss this.
Two Feet & A Heartbeat
Sunday 2 November
On Sunday 2 November, HeartKids is calling you to walk in support of families impacted by childhood-onset heart disease, with walking tours for charity. The choice is between 4km (to mark the four young lives lost each week) or 8km (to reflect the eight babies born daily with heart conditions). Funds raised go straight to support programs in hospitals and regional communities.
TedXPerth
Sunday 2 November
TEDxPerth is taking over His Majesty’s Theatre, with the inspirational talks moving from your headphones on a run to right in front of you. The flagship event aims to spark curiosity, conversation, and connection with local and international speakers giving talks you won’t want to miss!
