Quarry Amphitheatre

The Quarry Amphitheatre is an outdoor venue in City Beach featuring a wooden stage set within natural limestone formations and native bushland. The site accommodates 566 guests and includes professional lighting and sound systems for performances.

The site began as a limestone quarry in 1834 under Henry Trigg, who extracted stone for local construction projects. The land changed hands in 1847 when Walter Padbury acquired it, setting the stage for its later transformation into a cultural venue.

This venue serves as a gathering place for local performers and audiences, hosting dance, music, and theater productions during the warmer months. The site has become part of the community's cultural calendar, bringing people together for shared artistic experiences.

The venue is accessible and clearly laid out, with ample seating arranged in the natural bowl formation. Plan your visit for the warmer months when performances typically occur, and bring suitable clothing for outdoor seating.

The natural limestone walls of the former quarry create remarkable sound qualities that enhance every performance without additional acoustic aids. From certain viewpoints, audiences can also see the Perth city skyline, adding an unexpected visual dimension to outdoor shows.
