Drop by Expat Fairs at Raffles Town Club and you may stand a chance to win lucky draw prizes, such as a Club Med Bintan holiday for four!
If you think gourmet nosh, wines, independent designer pop-ups and live music make the best ingredients for a great, after-work activity, you’re definitely on to something! Combining all of these elements in a single, two-day event is the autumn edition of the Expat Fairs at Raffles Town Club from 26 to 27 October (10am to 6pm), held in conjunction with St. James’s Place Wealth Management and the Australian International School.
Shopping markets may be a dime a dozen in Singapore, but what other event comes loaded with special promotions, door gifts and amazing lucky draw prizes (with a total value of $4,500) for customers? For starters, you might be able to score a Club Med Bintan holiday worth $2,200 for four or a $50 Expat Fairs gift voucher, which will be given away each day. Feel like going on a romantic vacay with your significant other? Makunudu Island in the Maldives has a three-night getaway for two at an exclusive price of US$1,688 during the fair, and receive a limited Bvlgari Deluxe gift pack with toiletries worth over $100.
But hey, we’re not just there for the freebies – there’s serious shopping to be done! Update your wardrobe with the latest runway collections by international designers at Brand & Label Singapore featuring big names like Diane Von Furstenberg and Tory Burch. The sartorial pickings don’t just stop there – breezy resort wear from Blue Sea Blue, comfy but stylish shoes by Solfit, practical weekend bags by Pop Up Japon and statement jewellery from Shop The Tropics are just the tip of the iceburg!
Looking for some ideas on how spruce up your living space? Eco Fleurs has pretty and quirky flowers set in tea cups, terrariums and fancy jewellery boxes, while Laura Lee Antiques specialises in one-of-a-kind Asian antiques and furniture at wholesale prices. You can even transform your home into a tropical resort with rustic wooden furniture and home accessories from Galanga Living! For a slice of local art, Arts To U showcases artworks and merchandise designed by Singapore artists. Not forgetting the kids; dress the little ones in an adorable personalised T-shirt from Roses & Rhinos, or stock up on organic bath products by Austraian label My First Shoots. With such an eclectic mix of vendors, you’ll need a day (or two) to browse everything that’s on offer.
You won’t be left hungry as you shop at the Expat Fair. While you check out the artisanal food and drink choices such as Mediterranean produce from Greek Kouzina, freshly baked breads by Enjoue Bakery and fresh seafood from Kuhlbarra, local band Sound Grove will be providing fresh and funky jazz tunes to get you in the mood for a full-blown retail therapy sesh!
