FRINGE WORLD 2025 marks thirteen fun-filled years of The Lotterywest De Parel Spiegeltent! This space has seen thousands of Perthians walk through its doors since the Festival’s inception in 2011 and it’s all thanks to FRINGE WORLD’s Principal Supporter, Lotterywest.

Affectionately known as “The Pearl” by the Fringe family, this venue was previously used as a dance hall, bar and entertainment salon before establishing itself as a crowd-favourite Fringe space.

This festival, you can experience the mystical and mysterious magic kept within the walls of this 117-year-old venue at The Pleasure Garden. Thank you to Lotterywest for your continued and vital support of FRINGE WORLD!
