Cathedral Square

In a surprising turn of events, I found myself on a Sunday afternoon WANTING to go to the CBD. The reason? Well apart from the perfect weather begging me to take my bike out for a spin — I wanted to check out the new City of Perth Library (fancy!) and the new Cathedral Square Markets.
Small but mighty, the markets showcases local art, design, fashion and food on the first Sunday of every month from 10am to 4pm in the Perth Town Hall undercroft.
Run by Cool Perth Nights, the stalls are thoughtfully curated and its great to have a chat to passionate local creatives! I made a beeline for Bare Botanicals to pick up some organic chamomile and rose mist which I have been trying to find everywhere in Perth.
In my meandering I also came across: Rags to Rugs recycled rugs made from old quilt covers, Miss Moss terrariums, The Paper Planes map stationary, Gentlemen & Scholar handmade men’s accessories, Jyla Ruby prints, Mountain and the Moon hand designed ethnic-​looking jewellery and Perth fave The Honeycake (don’t leave without a sample).
Throw in some swing dancers, ice cream and (rare) inner city community vibes — I’ll be exploring the city by bike on a regular basis.
