The Pickled Swan | FRINGE WORLD Festival
The
Fringe World Festival is returning to Midland in 2018 with a brand new hub featuring a dozen different shows. The
Pickled Swan is a collaboration between three local businesses: the
Robot Bun Factory Café , the
7th Avenue Bar & Restaurant and the
Stevenson Theatre . From 26 January through to mid-February, all three will be offering a smorgasbord of comedy, burlesque, children's shows, dance and more.
Proudly supported by
Midland Gate , the Pickled Swan Festival hub offers the chance to visit the up and coming
St%2C Midland Western Australia 6056 Cale Street restaurant precinct before catching a world-class show at a bargain price. Choose from burgers, ribs, curry, pizza, modern Australian and more. It's all there in an easy walking distance of the venues. Even easier is to eat at the venue – try the Robot Bun Factory's bao buns, have a pub favourite at 7th Avenue or coffee and cake at the Stevenson. Pickled Swan venues also have specials for showgoers.
A visit to the Pickled Swan will be a great way to end the week with most shows on weekend nights and the variety means that there's something for everyone.
