What's On Thursday 8 January:
Thursday Set Menu at Si Paradiso
Si Paradiso just became the place to be on a Thursday night, with a very enticing midweek offer—a three-course set menu featuring some of Chef Larissa Goncalves best, all for just $40 a pop, perfect for lingering and grazing the night away.
Unlike your classic set menu, the Si team has built this one to be flexible. Kick things off with scallop and blood orange crudo and a lobster crespelle, before moving on to your choice of succulent pork spiedini with kimchi butter sauce or market fish spiedini with limoncello butter sauce, accompanied by either green goddess salad or a honey mustard insalata mix. Cap it off with your choice of pizza, and you’ve got the makings of a seriously good Thursday night. Want to kick things up a notch? Opt into the extras, like a dozen oysters or a scoop of Si Paradiso’s classic tiramisu for dessert.
Speaking of kicking things up a notch, they’re also flinging the cellar doors wide open and offering up their cellar list at 40% (and there’s some great chardys in there to get into). If you’ve been looking for an excuse to spend your Thursday over good food and great vino, this is it.
What's On Friday 9 January:
Ninja Inflatables at Cathedral Square
Officially out of ideas for entertaining the kids this school holidays? This Friday, head into the CBD and let them burn some energy as an inflatable ninja course lands at Cathedral Square. Perfect for little ones 4-12, they’ll get three hours to climb, run and jump through a series of challenges, while you can sip a coffee in peace for the first time since in 2026. Plus, there’s a dedicated toddler space for younger siblings, so this one’s fun for all.
Burrata On Fridays at The Claremont
Make those first Friday night drinks of the year one to remember, with The Claremont’s live burrata demonstration. Sip a spritz on the rooftop while the culinary artists from Galleria Burrate hand-stretch and shape fresh cheese in front of your eyes. Dip into a single burrata for $25, or a double for $40, with three flavours to choose from. Plus, if you’re busy this Friday they’re stretching cheese on the rooftop every week.
What's On Saturday 10 January:
Little Builders Perth Opening
If you’ve got a little one who insists on pointing out every truck, digger and mixer they see, Little Builders is about to blow their mind. Officially opening in Watertown this weekend, the imagination-based playspace allows them to dig, build and construct to their hearts desire. At the heart of the space is a mammoth sandbox, jam-packed with ride on excavators and trucks.
Yoga In The Park at Hyde Park
Embrace the new year vibes with an early morning yoga sesh at Hyde Park. Blooming Happy Yoga is hosting an easy vinyasa, suitable for all levels. After the first week back in the office for 2026, this is the perfect way to release some tension. Top tip? After your workout hit up Chu Bakery for one of Perth’s best pastries—you deserve it.
Urban Cocktail Trail in Leederville
Urban Cocktail Trail returns to Leedy this weekend, and if you’re looking for an excuse to sip your way through one Perth’s best neighbourhoods consider this it. On the lineup? Servo, The Garden, NABER, Duende, Robert’s On Oxford, Vicky Brown’s Bar, and plenty of good eats and better sips. Saturday, sorted.
One Direction Party at The Rechabite
It’s the best party ever for Perth’s diehard Directioners, with DJs taking over The Rechabite so a full night of One Direction hits, plus some of the best singles from Harry, Niall, Louis, Zayn and Liam. Relive the band’s heyday, and dance all night.
