Believe it or not, the Capitol theatre actually used to be a theatre showing movies before ceasing operations in 1998. For a limited time, they’re returning to those roots. Amidst neo-classical architecture and seating layouts inspired by the 1920s Roxy Theatre in New York, audiences will be able to enjoy the classics the way they were meant to be enjoyed. The first session kicks things off with Singin’ in the Rain (1952), Lawrence of Arabia (1962), and North by Northwest (1962).
When: From 22 February to 28 April 2026

Elephant Grounds, a prominent figure in shaping Hong Kong’s café scene for the past decade is landing in Singapore this Saturday. For the uninitiated, the café is known less for theatrics than for doing the fundamentals well: considered coffee, from-scratch baking, and interiors designed to be a third space. Look out for their Earl Grey Doughnut, Banoffee (banana + toffee croissant), Chocolate Cookie, Fish Fillet Sando, and Wildberry Pancake Stack.
When: Daily, from 8am to 8pm
Where: 124 Beach Rd, #01-04 Guoco Midtown, Singapore 189771

Back in the day, the games our ancestors played were never just games. They doubled as barometers of culture, power, and community, and the Asian Civilisation Museum seeks to trace and highlight that lineage. From mahjong and congkak to the slow, deliberate logic of go and chess, “Let’s Play” is an exhibition that will feature interactive stations, outdoor installations, school collaborations, and a steady run of talks. Of course, you’ll also get to try your hand at classic and contemporary board games, as well as locally designed ones to flaunt your mental prowess, just like your ancestors (probably) used to.
When: 5 September 2025 to 7 June 2026

Japanese whisky house Nikka Whisky is joining hands with Singapore’s homegrown perfumery Oo La Lab to create a limited olfactory workshop guided by the experts at Oo La Lab. Guests are invited to alchemise their own perfume, drop by drop, based on their interpretation of the Nikka From The Barrel whisky. However, the lab won’t limit you; you’re free to tweak and adjust your scent to your liking, based on over 20 different scents (I think, if my memory serves me right).
Each session not only begins with a welcome cocktail crafted with Nikka From The Barrel, but continues with tastings of Nikka From The Barrel served neat and diluted so guests can explore its base note in detail. But here’s the best part: tickets are priced at SGD98, but everyone gets to bring home a full-sized bottle of Nikka From The Barrel worth SGD85 on top of their personalised perfume. So you’re essentially paying SGD13 for a perfume workshop, which is a BARGAIN. The experience is limited to just 8 sessions for up to 25 participants, so you’ll want to move quick.
When: Thursdays at 6pm, and Saturdays at 2pm
Where: Oo La Lab, 2 Alexandra Rd, #02-04 Delta House, Singapore 159919
