From the arrival of a world-renowned circus to a bold new standard in affordable dining, Perth is bursting with incredible things to see, do and taste this week! The city’s cultural heart is getting a jolt of energy as Cirque du Soleil’s Corteo makes its long-awaited Australian debut, while the free Hatched art exhibition takes over a new space in the CBD. On the food front, the options are just as diverse. Indulge in an exclusive whisky-pairing dinner at Miss Mi, master the art of cocktails at The Stables, join the $22 pizza revolution at Il Locale or cure the mid-week blues with line dancing and $1 wings.
Il Locale $22 Pizzas
How much did you pay for your last gourmet pizza? If it was anywhere near $30, one of WA’s fastest-growing pizza brands thinks you’ve been overcharged for too long. Il Locale has launched The Pizza Club, a bold movement that makes every single pizza on their menu a flat $22. From a classic Margherita to their most loaded special, the price is the same across all their stores, every day. It’s a refreshing declaration that top-quality pizza, made with premium ingredients like imported Italian tomatoes and hand-stretched dough, shouldn’t be a luxury item!
Hatched: National Graduate Show 2025
Perth’s cultural heart is getting a major jolt of energy. The Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA) unveils its celebrated Hatched: National Graduate Show, but not as you know it. For the first time, the exhibition has moved into a massive, light-filled space in the CBD’s Forrest Chase. Placing the future of Australian art right in the city’s bustling centre. It’s the perfect chance to discover 23 of the nation’s most promising creative voices in an exciting and accessible new setting. Hatched 2025 is a free exhibit open from the 2nd of August until the 5th of October.
Lotus Dim Sum
Your weekend plans just got a serious dose of decadence. Long lunch has been transformed with Lotus‘s new bottomless Dim Sum experience. Indulge in a two-hour culinary journey featuring a curated parade of eight standout dishes. We’re talking Malay fried popcorn chicken, zesty spiced duck larb and delicate steamed prawn dumplings, all replenished as you desire. Matched with beverages, where stunning self-pour cocktail tea-towers and endless flutes of fizz ensure your glass is never empty. It’s the ultimate way to turn a Friday lunch or weekend catch-up into a truly lavish affair!
Boot Scootin’ Stories
Your new favourite Wednesday night plan starts with $1 buffalo wings and ends on a free dance floor. Stories Pourhouse is making the middle of the week irresistible by pairing incredible food deals with boot-stomping entertainment.

It’s a complete night out that’s heavy on the flavour and fun.
Grill & Grain at Miss Mi
If you’re seeking an exceptional dining experience clear your calendar for Thursday night.

Taste a menu specially designed by Chef Alex De Leon to pair perfectly with some of the world’s best single malts. Imagine the smooth, peated richness of a single malt cutting through succulent Filipino BBQ beef ribs, or the warmth of an aged cask whisky elevating the zest of charcoal-grilled chilli lime prawns.
