Launch of new programmes
As part of the Make Time For More Holidays campaign, Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC) will also roll out a series of new fitness, arts, and educational experiences for guests to enjoy Sentosa in a different way. Between September 2021 and November 2021, guests can look forward to taking part in programmes such as:
• Graffiti by the Beach: Guests will join a graffiti artist to learn the basics while creating graffiti-style artwork using spray-painting techniques.
• Fort Siloso Night Experience: Embark on a 1.5-hour tour of Fort Siloso led only by a kerosene lamp and a guide, who will take guests through a realistic telling of the life of World War II soldiers.
• Ukulele by the Beach: Learn the basics of playing a ukulele, against the majestic views of the sea from the 50m-tall SkyBridge.
• Art Painting by the Beach: In this two-hour workshop, guests can learn painting by the sea and bring home their own hand-painted tote bag.
• Pottery by the Beach: Guests can immerse themselves in the therapeutic process of moulding their own wares, amidst the tranquil beach surroundings.
• Archery by the Beach: Have a go at recurve archery, an official sport at the Olympics. Guests will be introduced to the sport and have a few guided practice rounds, before challenging themselves in a mini competition.
Prices of these programmes start from just $10, with selected experiences also bundled with dining options. The offerings will progressively be available for bookings from today. Please see Annex A for more details on the various new experiences.
