From 28 Apr-14 May, the Singapore Heritage Festival will allow visitors to explore Singapore’s lesser-known stories through a specially curated line-up of programs and activities.
In case you were wondering about the price tag, almost all of the programs are free and open to public. And if you don’t have time to fully explore the entire programme (because there are more than 110 activities lined up), we picked out six highlights that are not to be missed:
2. The Fullerton Love Story
The hallowed hallways of The Fullerton Hotel have seen many historical people come and go. Once home to the General Post Office, the Ministry of Finance and the iconic Fullerton Lighthouse, the hotel is now officially gazetted as Singapore’s 71st Naitional Momument.
This interactive drama tour will bring you around through the revolving doors and into the past where you will find yourself in the midst of a most improbable love story between humble postman Simon Wee and Tracy De Souza, an upper-class civil servant.
End your tour with some sweet treats at The Courtyard, with some live jazz to calm your frazzled nerves.
