As the summer and hot weather linger around in the coming months, take your family down to experience Perth City's very own 'pop-up beach' at the Perth Cultural Centre in Northbridge. is open from Friday 5th December 2014 through to Sunday 1st February and is free for all.


The stylish 1950's urban beach is the perfect way to soak in the summer in the heart of the city. There are two beaches that have been created - a shaded beach for children complete with buckets and spades for play and a relaxing adults' beach with sun lounges in the James Street amphitheatre. Feel the sand between your toes and laze on the deck chairs under beach umbrellas and shady trees at the venue. There is even a sea creature or two to truly transform this urban space into a seaside haven, as well as a beach bar by Bar Pop.

The set-up includes bench seats and potted trees surrounding both beaches, and visitors can enjoy free giant games such as chess and jenga. Beach goers will also be entertained in the evenings with music, beach tunes and movies on the Perth Cultural Centre big screen. Classic Elvis movies will be shown on various Wednesdays and Sundays whilst short film festival Tropfest takes place on Sunday 7th December.

The movies showing on the Elvis summer screening nights are as follows:

Wednesday 10 December, 7:30pm: Jailhouse Rock (1957)
Sunday 14 December, 7:30pm: Girl Happy (1965)
Wednesday 17 December, 7:30pm: King Creole (1958)
Sunday 21 December, 7:30pm: Follow that Dream (1962)
