The Court

50 Beaufort St, Perth WA 6000

Dance the night away with a limoncello spritz on arrival, handmade gnocchi, and tiramisu, all while on the dance floor. Bring your amore or find them at the singles table.

Things To Do

Gin Distilling 

Did somebody say couples who distil together, stay together? If not, we're claiming it. The Republic of Fremantle hosts gin distilling classes each weekend, and with Valentine's Day falling on a Saturday this year, it's the perfect opportunity to get hands-on with your love (in a very different way to the usual). Learn the art of gin-making in a two-hour class and distil your very own 500ml bottle of gin—a personalised keepsake you can crack open and toast to on all your future special occasions. 

Facials For Two

Skip the sips at the State Buildings and unwind at COMO Shambhala The Treasury with one of the many curated couples experiences. Our pick is the COMO Shambhala To Share, starting with the hotel’s deeply relaxing 60-minute signature massage before ending with a 30-minute express facial.

Ten Pin Bowling

Break out one of the classics and take your Valentine bowling. With a decent dose of nostalgia, fun and some friendly competition thrown in for good measure, ten-pin bowling is a classic for a reason. Secure a lane at Strike, the Breakwater, or one of these other spots and don’t forget to let your crush win. 

Jazz Bars

If you enjoy the smooth, romantic tones of the saxophone (or should we say sexyphone?) go straight to The Ellington. Park up with vino for the most intimate, lively jazz you’ll experience in Perth. If you’re continuing the night, why not head to The Bird or Picabar?

Day Spas

Pamper your plus one and splurge on a spa treatment and bliss out at BODHI. The Valentine’s special BODHI Restore includes either a spa, bath, steam or sauna, followed by a restorative and relaxing full body massage, side-by-side with a glass of complimentary sparkling wine to help you unwind. Want to make a day out of it? Go big with the BODHI Journey: a five-hour sensory experience including a steam, sauna or spa, full-body scrub, silky, mineral-rich wrap, massage, facial, scalp massage, hair treatment and a light lunch. Divine. 

Darts

The number one rule of Flight Club is to talk about how you had your first-ever decent Valentine’s date here. Because honestly, is there anything more romantic than challenging your hand-eye coordination? Book in for a game of darts at Flight Club this Valentine’s Day for you and your special someone now.

Fringe World

What better place to spice up your date night plans than at Fringe World? There are soooo many saucy events to choose from and a bunch of fun Northbridge bars for you to grab a pre-show cocktail at. If you’re not sure where to start, just head to the Pleasure Gardens, grab a bite to eat and see what show takes your fancy. 

Pottery Classes

We can write off a The-Notebook-Style kiss in the rain because it's summer here in Australia, and we can also write off a Dirty-Dancing-Esque lift because we aren’t dating Patrick Swayze. But we WILL NOT write off a Ghost-Style sensual pottery venture. Not Yet Perfect Pottery Studio in Applecross runs regular wheel throwing and wine classes, and there's one happening on Friday February 13, that is definitely worth a crack (pun intended) for your next date night. Afterwards, you can head to The Rowing Pavilion or the Raffles Hotel for riverside bevs and bites.

Paint And Sip

Whether you're artistically blessed or struggle with basic stick figures, a good old paint and sip class is always a good time. Aided, of course, by a glass of vino in hand, these art classes include all the equipment you need and a qualified artist as your instructor. So all you really have to worry about is looking cute and turning up on time. Scope out Perth's best paint and sip classes and get booking.

Or, for something a little extra special, The Botanic Edit is hosting a Galentines Paint & Pot Workshop on Saturday February 7, which is all about friendship, creativity and connection. If you get in early, tickets are only $99 per person before becoming $149. You'll get your very own ceramic pot to design and paint, as well as a lush plant of your choice to add as the finishing touch. With bottomless bubbles flowing and grazing on hand, it’s a feel-good, hands-on way to toast to platonic love and leave with a new gorgeous houseplant to serve as a reminder. 

Outdoor Cinemas

You're absolutely spoilt for choice around this time of year, with so many awesome outdoor cinemas worth a look. Moonlight Cinema, hosted on the lawns of our iconic Kings Park, has a stellar lineup of romantic flicks running this Feb. Somerville Movies is home to the coolest indie films and the most magical setting beneath the pines. And Rooftop Movies has an unbeatable atmosphere and throwback films.

Escape Rooms

If you thought building Ikea furniture was the ultimate relationship test, we’re here to prove you wrong. Escape This in Northbridge has a steamy Pirate Island room, and if you ask us, there is nothing more romantic than being surrounded by darkness, fog, and of course, skulls and crossbones. Alternatively, you could say “I love you” with a high-stakes attempt at Escape Hunt; otherwise, these Perth Escape Rooms are worth checking out too.

Axe Throwing

Break the ice or the monotony of your usual date night with a relaxing and romantic session of axe-throwing. Head to Northbridge’s Maniax, where you can throw hatchets for two hours and be treated to a drink on the house post-throw, or swing by Lumber Punks for 90 minute sessions with full training by their axe-perts. Afterwards, head around the corner to the nearby Bright Tank brewpub for a ‘Beer My Valentine’ six-pack in a colourful love-up carrier.

Staycays

If things are getting serious, a luxe little staycay at one of Perth’s best hotels is the perfect way to max out on those honeymoon phase vibes. From boutique beauties such as the Hougoumont Hotel in Fremantle; the unmatched heritage charm and sophistication of the COMO The Treasury; the trendy Alex Hotel; and Rivervale’s award-winning Aloft Perth, there’s no denying Perth has an irresistible selection on offer.

Mini Golf

As much as we love a dimly lit bar and romantic dinner date on Valentine's Day, we just can't pass up the opportunity to be both a human glow stick AND Tiger Woods this Feb 14. Five minutes south of Fremantle, you’ll find Glowing Rooms, where you can do glow-in-the-dark mini-golf or VR escape rooms. With floors and walls painted by specialised artists and some magic glasses, you’ll soon be putting your way through some amazing glow-in-the-dark landscapes. If this all sounds a bit overwhelming for Valentine's Day, we understand. Opt for one of Perth's other mini-golf spots instead!  

Art Gallery

Whether you're into art or not, there’s something pretty romantic about strolling through gallery exhibitions and soaking up the cultural sights with someone. Plus, they also provide plenty of great conversation starters along the way. The Art Gallery of WA has some great exhibitions running and a stunning rooftop bar with epic views over the city. There’s also the nearby Perth Institute of Contemporary Art, which can be paired with a glass of wine and an epic grazing board at Picabar.

Picnics

I think everyone who’s ever been on a picnic has said “we should do this more often”, so why not do it this Valentine’s Day?! You really can’t go wrong at these stunning spots. Otherwise, just pick a spot that is sentimental for you, or walking distance from home if you plan on sharing a few bevvies together.
