Where To Shop, Eat And Play This Weekend (8-10 Nov)

Now that Halloween is over, it’s time to start getting ready for the next big holiday, aka Christmas. After all, it’s already November, which gives us less than 2 months to shop for presents, put up Christmas decorations and create e-cards! If you’re looking to catch a break from pre-Christmas preparations, check out what’s happening around Singapore this weekend.

1. Arts in Your Neighbourhood

Want to explore neighbourhoods you don’t visit often while soaking up some culture? Well, Arts in Your Neighbourhood (AYN) is back with over 40 family-friendly activities happening in 13 locations islandwide. In particular, this edition of AYN shines a spotlight on Punggol, making this the perfect excuse to take a trip to North-East Singapore. Highlights include an interactive Five Stones art installation and Sensing Punggol, a collaborative art exhibition which brings the neighbourhood to life through a clever blend of art and technology.
