Bras Basah Complex to host first Bras Basah.Bugis open house on Mar 7 and 8

The walking tour is the only ticketed programme at the open house, with two sessions daily from 2pm to 3.30pm and 4pm to 5.30pm. Tickets are priced at S$15 per person, and registration must be completed via the event website.

The event will also feature a stamp rally. Participants can collect stamps from five participating stores: Wheniwasfour, Fook Hing Trading Co, Xinyue Music Studio, Maha Yu Yi Bookstore and Union Book Co. Completed stamp cards can be redeemed for a set of discount vouchers, valid at the five stores while stocks last.

Live performances are also scheduled across both days. Local open-jam collective Ann Siang Sounds will perform on Mar 8 from 4pm to 6.30pm. Bras Basah Complex tenants, including Nrityalaya Aesthetics Society, Drum Prodigy and Intune Music, will stage performances on Mar 7 and 8 from 1pm to 2pm.

The open house also features a creative craft market that will spotlight local artists, craftmakers and illustrators such as Reddillustrates, Whimsipom, Then0ize, TwoPeas, Crumbstown, Caricagen and Loonskye.

Visitors can also participate in a community chill zone, where they are invited to contribute to a collaborative art installation using Post-it notes or by drawing and expressing in words their memories of the precinct. A photobooth will be available for visitors to take commemorative photos, while in the evenings, there will be movie screenings of Zootopia and Inside Out.
