Pearl's Hill Terrors takes over all three levels of 195 Pearl's Hill Terrace on Saturday 31 October 2026. The building's own page calls it a community-led Halloween block party. Walk-in entry is free. More than 20 studios open for workshops, a stamp rally at 20 stops, trick-or-treat at 15 studios, and a Best Dressed prize at Kult Yard at 6pm. The programme, prices, and booking notes sit on 195pearlshillterrace.com. FZINE, 28 October 2026 and ANZA, 23 October 2026 both list the same date and address. Trust the building page when a blog shortens the hours.
Hours are per studio, not one gate time
There is no single opening bell for the whole compound. Speech Academy Asia at #03-20 runs a free horror storytelling workshop for ages 6 to 16 from 10am to 5pm. Look for the red doors. Arterly Obsessed face painting at #01-06 is 11am to 6pm. Avant Culture Club's record store at #01-60 is open 12pm to 6pm. ANZA printed "from 12pm." FZINE printed 12pm to 6pm for the Heartbreak Exchange wardrobe swap on Level 1. Those are useful as a midday window. They are not the last activity. Cyanotype in the dark at Arterly Obsessed #01-06 is 7pm to 9pm, $12 to $25. The vinyl show-and-tell at Avant Culture Club asks you to arrive by 8pm. Late arrivals may not get in. Kult Yard gives the Best Dressed prize at 6pm in the courtyard.
Address: 195 Pearl's Hill Terrace, Singapore 168976. Outram Park MRT is the nearest station. Chinatown MRT NE4/DT19 is a short walk up the hill past People's Park Complex. This is the west side of Eu Tong Sen, not Pagoda Street. Do not mix it up with Pearl's Hill City Park. The park is the reservoir hill. The Halloween day is inside the old terrace block.
Stamp rally, trick-or-treat, swap, food
Collect stamps at 20 stops across all three levels. Each studio designed its own stamp. Fifteen studios hand out treats. Look for the trick-or-treat sign outside the unit. Come in costume. Kult Yard's prize is at 6pm. Avant Culture Club also gives prizes for the best dressed at the evening vinyl show-and-tell. The $10 fee for that session can be used in full as store credit on a later purchase. Bring a record you actually play.
proximities! runs Heartbreak Exchange on Level 1. Swap clothes and things from your exes. Free to walk in. Vendor tables start at $25. Message @proximities.fun if you want a table. The official page still says the exact spot is to be confirmed, so check that Instagram or the Telegram channel on the day. Palnite x What's the Tea is listed as a first preview with details to come. Do not treat that as a timed show until they post one.
Food is Paaru, Lavi Taco, and a pop-up by The Crossing Edge. Kult Yard is the courtyard bar. Book a table on the Bistrochat link on the building page if you want a seat rather than a queue. Gazing Power Wash jet-washed a snakes and ladders board into the courtyard floor for the day.
Workshops that sell out if you walk in late
Walk-in is the default for bag charms at Poison Studio #01-08, clothing customisation at Inner Monologue #01-21, press-on nails at 3S Nails #01-68D, and flash tattoos at Imagine Tattoo #01-09 and Deeper Please #02-11, subject to the artist being free. A few slots need a message or a form first. The Potters' Guilt monster mug at #01-03 is one session, 5pm to 6pm, $50, ages 6 and up, book by email. artCsk Studio's Art in Layers at #01-43 is $45, 1.5 hours, max 5 per slot, book on Acuity. Heartware Crafts bead workshops at #01-33 are by WhatsApp only. Poison Studio's junk journaling and Tamagotchi funeral have a 14-person cap and must be booked on the studio scheduler before the day. Antinormal needle felting at #03-64 is $65 and 3.5 hours. OtterHalf's clue hunt at #03-49 is free from 12pm to 7pm if you book ahead. The kids marketing workshop there is $68 for ages 7 to 12.
Other walk-in prices on the official card: Clink Clank Clunk metal stamping from $25, Jadore slime $25, Cypris feather choker $24.90, Pixie Toothgem Halloween flash $50 to $100, student press-on class $68 or $58 each for two or more from 11am to 1pm if four people show. esBoudoir's $38 gel manicure runs 3 to 31 October, so it is still on Saturday. Bunnies Patisserie's photo challenge for $100 store credit runs 28 October to 1 November. That one does not need you to stay for the evening vinyl set.
Same Saturday in Kreta Ayer
This is not a Chinatown Business Association street festival. Pagoda, Smith, and Trengganu do not have an official Halloween light-up. If you want a civic programme the same day, SCCC's free Visible Differences lecture is 2pm to 3.30pm at the Recital Studio, Level 6, 1 Straits Boulevard. SING浪 is at the Indoor Stadium, not in this map. Thye Moh Chan's Teochew atrium week at Chinatown Point still runs through Sunday 1 November, 10am to 9pm. Theemithi fire-walking at Sri Mariamman starts 1 November. Chinatown Heritage Centre has no Halloween listing on its what's-on page.
Club nights at The Coup, 7 Ann Siang Hill, are a different building and a different ticket. Bassment Bounce on Eventbrite is 11pm to 3am, $15 early, $18 pre, $20 door. Lulu's Carnival of the Absurd is a lounge night on South Bridge. Neither is this courtyard day.
