New openings and the latest stories from around the city.
A free, 70,000 sq ft Christmas village in Hall F at Marina Bay Sands for three days from 27 November: 150-plus brands, 40 workshops, rides and a Santa's Post Office for the children.
Thirty-seven dealers at Suntec for one Saturday, 24 October, and the stall to find first is Philip Cheah's: the BigO co-founder is selling his own records for the first time.
A café devoted to yerba mate, upstairs from a yakitori bar on Bali Lane, run by a ceramicist who used to be a coffee purist. Order the gourd service and bring an afternoon.
Nearly 70 arts tenants open the old Goodman Road school campus for one Saturday, 24 October: open studios, a DJ in the field, NADA at the amphitheatre and a lesson in ironing a shirt.
The Malaysian chain's last Singapore outlet, at Kallang Wave, named Sunday 11 October as its final day after more than 12 years. The landlord didn't renew; OldTown hasn't ruled out a return.
TWG's biggest shop anywhere is airside at Terminal 3, with a museum of antique samovars and tea ice cream. You need a boarding pass to see it, so get to your next T3 flight early.
Central PSI hit 186 on 9 October, the worst reading of 2026, and NEA warned the smoke may keep drifting in. Check the reading on the day and keep outdoor plans loose.
The fifth ART SG runs 22 to 24 January at Marina Bay Sands with S.E.A. Focus under the same roof, so the region and the world can be done in one building. Keep the evenings free for openings.
Petra opened at 40C Harding Road on 24 October 2026: wood-fired seafood, mezze and bread from its own oven in a 119-seat garden room on Dempsey Hill, with an ex-NOPI and Ottolenghi head chef consulting. Book a long lunch to share.
Jigger & Pony slips to 18th, Nutmeg & Clove climbs to 38th and Offtrack makes the extended list. Book Nutmeg & Clove's new Singlish-inspired menu before the climb brings the crowds back.
More than 2km of Serangoon Road is lit until 29 November, and Campbell Lane becomes a festival village from 10 October to 8 November. The last night is Deepavali itself; go earlier for elbow room.
Back after a three-year revamp with Zubir Said's piano, a restored HDB lift and voice stations where you add your own chapter. The anniversary programme ends 18 October; go after it for quiet.
