Events in Perth From 4th May – 10th May 2026

Home · Events in Perth This Week

Looking for events in Perth this week? You can find a diverse range of options. This week includes a live cinema event at Perth Concert Hall, where documentarian Simon Reeve presents a film on global journeys. The same venue hosts an evening of comedy and live performance on 8th May at McDiarmid Park, a short drive away. These events reflect the area’s focus on cultural and sporting inclusion. Check local listings for times and locations. If you're planning a night out, consider using Transperth for access, with the Perth railway station as a central hub.

There are also opportunities to attend disability sport competitions, including the South Lanarkshire Disability Sport Boccia Championships and the Scottish Disability Sport National Senior Swimming Championships, both held at Perth and Kinross Disability Sport Events, just outside the city. These events highlight the region’s commitment to accessible sport. For those interested in local history, Scone Palace remains a key site, though its gardens often see overcrowding during peak season. You can also check for smaller, community-based gatherings which frequently take place in the city centre.

Be mindful of the 20mph speed restriction within Perth City Centre if driving. The Enchanted Forest, located a short drive away, requires advance ticket booking. You can find green spaces and open-air performances in Elizabeth Quay, which serve as a backdrop for seasonal events.
