Which nights should you book for An Evening with Richard Dawkins: 50 Years of the Selfish Gene?
Book for one night — the night of 18 November 2026. Most attendees arrive that evening and depart the following morning, as this is a single-evening talk and many have work the next day. If you are travelling from out of town, you’ll likely only need accommodation for the night before or the night of the event — there is no multi-day programme requiring an extended stay.
How do you get to Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre?
All listed hotels are within a 13-minute walk of the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre. The closest — Medina Grand Perth — is just 2 minutes away on foot. Public transport options include buses and a train station within the precinct; services thin out late — check the last departure before you go. Ride-share drop-off is available directly at the venue entrance.
Where do you eat and drink after the event?
Several restaurants and cafés are within easy walking distance of the venue, particularly along St Georges Terrace and the nearby Northbridge precinct. These offer casual and sit-down options for a post-talk meal or drink, with many remaining open until late on weeknights.
What is the area around Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre like?
The Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre sits in the heart of the city’s central business district, adjacent to the Swan River and close to Northbridge’s dining and cultural hub. The area is well-lit and pedestrian-friendly in the evening, with wide footpaths and clear signage. It’s quiet enough for rest but remains active with local workers and residents, especially near major streets and riverfront paths.
