Perth Festival

We are pleased to announce that the Western Australian Museum - Perth, will be a host venue for the Perth Festival, 10 February to 3 March 2012. The all new Festival Gardens is located in the grounds of the Western Australian Museum.

For 22 nights during the Perth Festival, the best Australian and international acts perform on the Main Stage.

Before immersing yourself in the musical entertainment that is the Perth Festival, why not enjoy a pre-concert cocktail event at the Western Australian Museum, in the Hackett Hall Foyer, adjacent to the Festival Gardens.

From $128 per person, you can experience a 2 hour cocktail function including canapés, beverages and discounted concert tickets. This is based on a minimum of 50 guests.
