PERTH’S LAST-MINUTE CHRISTMAS GUIDE
Christmas is just around the corner! Santa is positioned at every shopping centre in the burbs, trolleys are filled with presents and gift wrapping and the kids are absolutely itching to get out of school. As it’s the busiest time of year, let us help you take the stress out of organising last-minute Christmas adventures and events by taking a leaf through our Last-Minute Christmas Guide – chock full of festivities and things to do with your friends and fam.
Get Festive at 140
‘Get Festive at 140’ features two Christmas Markets on December 12 and 18, 11am-3pm in Railway Lane. A wide variety of gift selections make up 16 specialty market stalls, showcasing Perth talent in a vibrant mecca of festivity. A premium gift-wrapping service will ensure purchases are ready to go straight under the tree, with gold coin donations going to local charities.
In addition, Postal Place at 140 Perth will be transformed into ‘140 Kid Street’.

Love Actually Christmas Eve Sing-a-long
Join in the festive hijinks with our very own Santa spreading Christmas cheer with carols sing-alongs and prizes! All before the much-loved Christmas Eve tradition of kicking back to watch Love Actually.
About the film:
All of London is in love – or longing to be – in Four Weddings and a Funeral writer Richard Curtis’ first directorial effort. Billed as “the ultimate romantic comedy,” LOVE ACTUALLY involves more than a dozen main characters, each weaving his or her way into another’s heart over the course of one particularly eventful Christmas.
