Date ideas don’t always have to involve queueing up for the latest strawberry matcha at a newly opened café. Instead, mix things up with a film night under the stars at Glenfiddich Films At The Fort, an open-air cinema experience set against the lush backdrop of Fort Canning Park. And honestly, it’s just as fun with your mates too, especially if you’re looking for an alternative to your go-to mala runs.
Running from August 21 to September 7, this alfresco film festival is screening a stellar lineup of blockbusters and cult classics, from the adrenaline-pumping F1: The Movie to enduring favourites like The Shawshank Redemption, Top Gun and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Your ticket includes a complimentary Glenfiddich cocktail and a bag of Truly Nuts, in case you get the mid-film munchies. There’ll also be a range of bites available for purchase, including fried chicken buns, ice cream sandwiches, popcorn and more. Food stalls open from 5.30pm, and you’re welcome to bring your own snacks, though outside alcohol isn’t allowed.
Just make sure you’ve sorted your food and drinks before the film begins as the screening kicks off at 7.45pm sharp.
