The buzz on what’s happening in Singapore this week
1. From boutique to bookshop
In commemoration of Women’s History Month, homegrown clothing brand Rye transforms its boutique in New Bahru into a bookshop from 14 to 29 March 2026, holding space for women’s voices, both in print and in conversation. If you have no plans on 14 March, head to the store and join an intimate gathering with three local female authors. Then, stick around for a community book swap and mingle with fellow attendees. Bring a book by a female author you love and leave with another! RSVP to the Rye Bookshop and look forward to being empowered.
2. Pickle(ball) me this
Curious about the pickleball trend in Singapore? This is your chance to find out what the fuss is about. Pop over to the Singapore Expo on 15 March 2026 for Skechers’ pickleball workshop. Newbies can sign up for the beginners session (8am to 10am) while those familiar with the sport can take part in the intermediate session (10am to 12pm). Paddles and balls are supplied, while light refreshments will be available throughout. Oh, and a Skechers goodie bag will be distributed to every attendee, too!
3. Clubbing, but make it micro and intimate
Singapore’s nightlife scene has seen a significant shift: out with the big rooms and chaos, in with the smaller spaces and intimate experiences. Curious about this new concept? Club 666 invites you to step in and check it out. Each evening, two signature hype programmes will take place, switching things up and elevating clubgoers’ experiences. There’s a personal butler service too! Despite the name, there’s nothing devilish happening here (unless you want it to be…) – only a cool spot that won’t feel like a typical night out.
4. The collaboration fans have been waiting for
Here’s a sweet scoop for your Friday: Gelato Messina and Dearborn have come together for a limited-time flavour that’s sweet, savoury, and nutty. Presenting Dear Madeleine (from $8), a burnt butter gelato with seaweed madeleines and pecan candles.
Over on the Dearborn side, you can get the Messina pistachio granola ($16 for 260g), where the ice cream brand’s pistachio paste is folded generously through the granola along with candied pistachio, and topped with even more pistachio!
Both items are available at Gelato Messina and Dearborn respectively for two weeks only, so y’all better get to them fast.
5. Gotta pause on catching ’em all…
We suppose your goal of being the very best has to be put on hold until later in the year. Pokémon Centre Singapore will be temporarily closed from 1 April 2026 as it undergoes a major overhaul – the first in the world outside of Japan! The renewed space is scheduled to reopen in the third quarter of this year as a fully localised store, featuring heritage-inspired installations, design elements inspired by everyday local culture, and a new symbolic Pokémon representing our country’s charm.
While the revamp is underway, Pokémon pop-up stores will be held at Jewel Changi Airport and Plaza Singapura. Fans can browse through a curated selection of official merch and familiar touchpoints. Think of it as a side quest before you resume your main journey.
6. Have you been getting enough sleep?
If you’re neck deep in sleep debt, Heveya has a couple of relaxing events on 13 March 2026 that’ll help you catch some zzz’s. Head to Tanjong Beach at 7am for Sunrise with Heveya, where participants are led through yoga nidra, meditation, and breathwork. This practice will help calm your nervous system and awaken your senses for a peaceful start to the day.
If morning’s too tight for you, swing by Gardens by the Bay at 6.45pm for Sunset with Heveya. Participants will be taken through guided dream techniques that can help clear mental clutter and set intentions for restful sleep. As the Dalai Lama once said, “Sleep is the best meditation.”
What’s happening in Singapore: What you missed last week…
7. Jurong East becomes cool(er)
In a new round of East v West Singapore, Jurong (East) has taken the W this time, thanks to the recent opening of House+ Bubble, an all-inclusive 24-hour spa hailing from China. Here, patrons can soak their troubles away in the gender-segregated bathing zones, restore their bodies (and minds) in the heated therapy rooms, and enjoy a laundry list of wellness treatments. Not keen to do all that in front of others? Don’t worry, private soak rooms and reflexology suites are available.
Wait! That’s not all… House+ Bubble is more than just a spa – think of it as a micro-retreat. After all that soaking, curl up with a good book in the reading room, watch movies at the in-house cinema, or nap in a capsule pod. You’d work up an appetite by then, so head to the dining hall for a massive buffet ranging from local food to grilled meats and seafood. Well, guess we’re gonna be travelling to check this out soon!
8. Tim Hortons Singapore is now halal-certified
The Canadian coffeehouse chain has officially received its halal certification, hot on the heels of Paris Baguette getting its certificate two weeks ago. The certification applies to all its outlets islandwide and arrives less than a week after Ramadan starts in Singapore. Tim Hortons is known for its coffee, baked goods, breakfast sandwiches, and snacks. Now you can share its signature Timbits (bite-sized doughnuts) with your Muslim friends!
9. Rain rain go away, we wanna go to the beach and play
We can’t remember the last time we hit the beach in Singapore, so this is a timely reminder. From 14 to 22 March 2026, Siloso Beach will play host to the Sentosa Beach Fest, a first-of-a-kind beach fitness festival where guests can move under the sun or the stars. There are five dedicated zones filled with activities like beachfront and inflatable obstacle courses, battle rope challenge, and music-driven workouts. When the sun sets, watch out for musical performances and nightlife parties.
10. Singapore-based producer releases debut concept album
It’s Fresh Music Friday, and today we’re introducing you to multi-cultural producer Kiyan Foroughi, who has just released his debut album, inner light. OUTER SPACE. Listeners will be taken on a non-linear journey following a female protagonist navigating alien worlds and mythic trials. The focus track, The Destination, is led by local vocalist Rachelle Ruby, while other tracks feature collaborators like actor Darius Homayoun, rapper Masia One, and singer-songwriter George Azzi.
11. Google’s latest phone is available in Singapore now
Android fans and those eyeing a new phone, prepare to drop your moolah on the newest Google phone in the Pixel 10 series. The Google Pixel 10a promises stunning photos with crisp details, powerful AI features, scratch and drop resistance, and the ability to share files with other Android users as well as Apple devices.
What’s different about the Pixel 10a? The phone design is now smoother with a completely flat back (no back cameras jutting out) and made with recycled materials like aluminium, plastic, and tungsten. It comes in four colours (Lavender, Berry, Obsidian, and Fog), so you can always stand out.
The Google Pixel 10a is available via the Google Store and retail partners like Harvey Norman and Best Denki, and is priced from $799.
And that’s a wrap on what’s happening in Singapore this week (and beyond).
