Let's Explore Temasek Shophouse: 21 October

Temasek Shophouse is four heritage buildings in one, and this guided tour walks you through all of them — the site's history, the stories attached to it, its sustainable design, and the spaces inside that are given over to social impact. Volunteer docents lead the way, so the telling comes from people who have spent time with the place rather than a plaque. Along the route you also get the wider picture: the people, places and moments that shaped the Orchard Road area around it.

It runs on Wednesday 21 October 2026, 10.30am to 12pm, at 28 Orchard Road. Ninety minutes is a comfortable slot — long enough to cover the site properly, short enough to slot into a weekday morning before lunch. Go if you like your history delivered on foot, with the architecture right in front of you.
