A scent-first guided walk through Chinatown's wet markets, thrift shops and medicine halls, with smelling, writing and drawing along the way.
Snakes get around by smell rather than sight, and this two-hour walk borrows the idea for a wander through Chinatown. Part of Singapore Writers Festival 2026, it moves through wet markets, thrift shops, medicine halls and old strata malls, with guided smelling stops and time to put pen and pencil to paper as you go.
It runs on Sat 14 Nov 2026 from 10.30am to 12.30pm, gathering at Kreta Ayer Community Centre's Multi-Purpose Hall on level 2. The programme is conducted in English, so come dressed comfortably and in walking shoes — you will be on your feet for most of it.
