Araluen Botanic Park – A Natural Stage for Arts, Culture & Celebration
Set in the Perth Hills, Araluen Botanic Park is not only a garden paradise but also a vibrant hub for arts, culture, and community events. The Park features more than 20 heritage structures, including grand timber and stone pergolas, log cabins and a tiered stone grassed Amphitheatre, landscaped and overlooking the Old Swimming Pool. The park comes alive with music, during our daytime events, or early evening symphony. The sound carries beautifully through the valley.
Throughout the year, Araluen hosts an inspiring calendar of events:
Shakespeare in the Gardens – Twelfth Night
Enjoy an afternoon of laughter, romance and mischief among the beautiful gardens of Araluen as Roleystone Theatre presents Shakespeare’s beloved comedy Twelfth Night.
Set against the stunning natural backdrop of Araluen Botanic Park, this lively production brings to life the antics of Sir Toby, Fabian and the delightfully foolish Sir Andrew, alongside the tangled loves and mistaken identities that make Twelfth Night one of Shakespeare’s most entertaining plays.
Performance Dates:
🗓️ 21 & 22 March 2026
⏰ 4:00pm
📍 Araluen Botanic Park, Croydon Road, Roleystone
Your ticket includes entry to the Park, allowing you to arrive early, wander the gardens and enjoy the setting before the performance begins.
Bring a picnic rug or low chair, settle in under the trees, and experience Shakespeare in one of Western Australia’s most beautiful garden settings.
