We're delighted to welcome Fremantle Design Week back to PS this October!

Running from 16-25 October, Fremantle Design Week brings together designers, architects, artists, makers and creative thinkers for a programme of exhibitions, talks, workshops and special events across Walyalup/Fremantle.

This year's theme, Imagine, invites us to explore new ideas, rethink the way we live and build, and discover the creative possibilities shaping a more sustainable future.

We're excited to once again open our doors as a hub for design, ideas and conversation. Here's what's happening at PS next week. Click on each links for more info:
