Valentine’s Day is often framed as a celebration for couples only – dinner reservations booked in advance, mad dash to the florist, and the quiet pressure to get it “right”. But love shows up in many forms, and not all of them fits neatly into a heart-shaped box.
At the Farm, we like to think of Valentine’s Day a little differently. Less about grand gestures, and more about connection – to people, to food, to creativity, and to place.
Celebrating connection, not just romance
Love can look like gathering around a table with friends. It can be learning something new alongside someone else. It can be spending time outdoors, hands busy, conversations flowing, and phones forgotten for a while.
That’s why our Valentine’s offerings aren’t just for couples. They’re for friends, chosen family, partners, parents and anyone who wants to spend time doing something meaningful together.
Making something together
One of our favourite ways to mark Valentine’s Day is through shared experiences – like our pastamaking workshop. There’s something quietly special about working with your hands, rolling dough, learning a skill, and sitting down to enjoy the results together.
It’s not about perfection. It’s about slowing down, laughing through the process, and sharing food made with care. Whether you come with a partner, a friend, or on your own, these moments tend to turn into something memorable.
A place for gatherings of all kinds
For some, Valentine’s Day is also a time to imagine future celebrations. Our farm has long been a place for gatherings that feel thoughtful, relaxed and deeply personal – from weddings and commitment ceremonies to long-table dinners and winter celebrations.
With rustic spaces, garden surrounds and room to move at your own pace, venue hire at Perth City Farm offers an alternative to traditional function venues. It’s a place where celebrations are shaped by the people who gather, not by rigid templates.
As part of our Valentine’s season, we’re offering a limited venue hire promotion for winter weddings and Friday celebrations – an invitation to plan something meaningful, grounded and true to you.
Love, reimagined
This Valentine’s Day, we’re inviting you to celebrate love in whatever form it takes for you. Come make pasta. Gather your people. Wander the farm. Or simply spend time somewhere that feels calm and connected.
Because love doesn’t have to be loud or polished – sometimes it’s found in shared moments, simple pleasures, and being together in a space that feels alive.
