Russell Square

About this venue

Russell Square is a beautiful green space offering the perfect balance of light and shade in the entertainment precinct of Northbridge.

Located between Aberdeen & James St, Russell Square is one of the first areas in Perth to be set aside as a park. Heritage listed in 2001, the design of Russell Square is based on traditional Victorian style park with a quadrant layout, open lawns and mature trees. 

The large grassed areas, children's playground and abundance of Moreton Bay Fig trees, make it a perfect place for a picnic. During the summer months, Russell Square is transformed to the Pleasure Garden, a hub for one of the world’s largest art festivals—Perth’s Fringe World—offering local and international live performances, food outlets and free activities.

Russell Square is available for small to large scale events of up to 5,000 people. Application submission timeframes are dependent on size and impact.
