Like an unexpected Pinterest pic in your Facebook feed, the Perth Upmarket rolls around every few months to remind you that it’s ok that you can’t make quaint crafty goods – other people can, and they’re happy to do it for you. Bringing together over 150 Perth creatives, the markets are a veritable smorgasboard of […]
I’ve decided: the more temporary a shop, the cooler the food it sells. Think about it. Pop-up bars – cool. Market stalls – cool. Bunnings carpark sausage sizzles – cool. (Hey, a Bunnings BBQ always tastes better than one from home). The next logical step is, of course, is eating dinner in a tent. Until […]
It seems like you can’t walk five steps on St Georges Terrace without hitting a mile-long line snaking out of the newest hip, European-style restaurant. We’re all for Perth’s fine dining boon, but what about when you just feel like some good old market fare? Born from the Forrest Chase Twilight Hawker Markets that ran […]
In a city as sun-spoilt as Perth it can be difficult to think of a reason to head outside once winter rolls around. Frosty mornings and chilly, darkened evenings leave us huddling inside, counting the days until we can blink through the post-hibernation glare and welcome summer once more. That is, unless you’re planning on […]
1. Mad Hatter and Village Art Markets The end of High Street formerly populated by a few discount stores and the shell of the Myer building has come alive again thanks to the Mat Hatter Markets. Located in the King’s Square precinct, the markets seek to keep alive Freo’s tradition of being a market town, […]
Love macarons, but hate the damage they do to waistlines? Stop eating them. Wear them instead! Local artist and macaron lover Lucy Duckham of Clay & Clasp has made it easy. She creates one-off handcrafted jewelry and home wares that are just as sweet as the French pastry itself. Our favourite is her statement macaron necklace pendants, though […]
So Christmas is really, REALLY soon, and you probably have some picky friends (let’s call it “superb taste”, shall we). Or you’re a Christmas procrastinator and haven’t even started your Christmas shopping yet. Your solution: the Illuminites Night Markets in the Perth Cultural Centre on Friday. The markets have a distinct focus on WA designers and […]
This spring, Thursdays have been the day to visit Subi for late night shopping, a pre-weekend-frenzy drink and a hawker-style meal at the weekly Subi Sunset Night Markets, which, sadly, are ending next week. This Thursday, Subi upped the ante. Yesterday saw the addition of the annual Subi Street Festival to Subiaco’s Thursday night mix. Obviously, […]
There comes a moment before every Friday night out with friends when the collective thirst for start-of-the-weekend drinks has been adequately satisfied and panicked hunger takes over – followed by that inescapable argument over where to eat. One of you wants Italian, someone else feels like a burger, a couple of others feel like kebabs […]
Imagine getting all of your Christmas shopping finished in a single weekend, and a good three weeks before the big day. Impossible, you say? Nope. This weekend is the three-day 2012 Bazaar, an annual design and craft market that brings the work of the state’s best artists, designers, stylists, craftspeople and cooks to the picturesque […]
