What’s On In Perth This Week, This Month And Beyond

Wondering what Perth/Boorloo events to lock into your 2026 events calendar? At Urban List, we've done the hard yards and combed through everything happening in Perth to help you find the best things to do right now. 

Here’s what’s on in Perth this week, this month and beyond:

Titanic Exhibition: The Human Story

After a sold-out run in Brisbane, this acclaimed international exhibition, Titanic: The Human Story, is sailing right over to Perth this December. Unlike previous Titanic museums, this exhibit focuses on the authentic human stories behind the unsinkable ship that carved out such a chunk of our history.

Visitors will spend 90 minutes walking through full-scale recreations of the Titanic's interiors, guided by an audio narrative exploring the personal stories of passengers alongside immersive period music. There will also be handwritten letters, worn-in keepsakes, photographs and rare archival materials to paint the tragic picture. And maybe while you're there you can size up the doors to see if two people could've fit.

Even if you haven't seen Titanic yet (you should probably get on that), this is a beautifully insightful exhibition reminding us that real people are at the core of our historical stories. Tickets are available now from $26 for adults and $22 for kids.

Bird Years at Lawson Flats

Head into the city this autumn as renowned WA artist Anna Louise Richardson is taking over Lawson Flats with her new exhibition, Bird Years. This stunning exhibition is a deeply personal collection which traces how birds have intertwined their presence through critical moments of her life. It is her first solo commercial show in Perth, and it is truly captivating. 

Her large-scale drawings perfectly blend striking realism with stylised elements such as dramatic cut-out forms. Think mind-blowing pieces that turn familiar animals into huge emotional symbols of memory and place. It’s striking, moody, and the ultimate weekend culture fix in the heart of the CBD.

Plus, expanding beyond the Manjimup regiong for the first time means those of you who can't quite make the trip down south can still get in on the action with a brand new Perth metro dinner series taking place throughout July, with a curated lineup of restaurants each putting their own spin on the prized ingredient.

Stormie Mills at The Art Gallery of Western Australia

The first solo exhibition by WA artist Stormie Mills is dropping at the gallery: All the secrets are buried between the oceans and the mountains. It captures contemporary urban culture, reflecting on his global movements, personal history, and the encounters that have shaped his practice. His street art is transformational - if you have walked around Perth, you would have spotted his iconic tag. Now, he is bringing this raw urban style inside the gallery walls for a high-impact, personal experience. 

Check out some of the headline pieces, including two 12-metre-long paintings. One channels the chaos of the oceans and the other the harshness of the mountains; together, they explore human vulnerability and resilience. 

The vibe is edgy yet emotionally honest. If you’re looking for something to broaden your mind, this is the exhibition for you. It’s moody, thought-provoking, and stunning, not one to miss!
