Familiar faces return to Freo Arts Centre cafe, Plated

Plus a bunch of kid-friendly activities to round out the school hols.

October 10, 2025

Welcome to an accidentally Freo-heavy Friday edition of the newsletter — we just can’t help ourselves when some of our faves do fun things. Like Staples’ celebrating their first birthday with some free merch and a couple of golden tickets, or Patio Freo opening early on Sunday for a cheeky preloved clothing market, and Walyalup Fremantle Arts Centre’s cafe being so back! Also if you’ve run out of ideas for stuff to do with the kids we’ve got a few more below that might help — including Duncraig’s massive new Adventure Hub.

Go well, good luck, and we’ll catch you on the flippity flop.

Plated sees some familiar faces return to Walyalup Fremantle Arts Centre café

“So to be able to come back, it was like coming home after like a long time. And it was actually good because the three years when we away, we had the opportunity to be able to look back and reflect, you know, you can never say you’re perfect – there’s always things to improve.”
