The Lost Legacy of Fort Canning: The Forbidden Hill

TICKETS WILL BE ON SALE FROM 3 AUGUST 2026

Explore the shadowed, historical secrets of Bukit Larangan, the Forbidden Hill, on an immersive 70-minute nocturnal walking trail where archaeological history, ancient myth, and deep mystery converge within Fort Canning Park. This multi-disciplinary programme transports participants directly into the 14th-century world of early Singapura through a compelling combination of atmospheric soundscapes and live traditional Malay dance and physical movement.

The outdoor journey charts the dramatic rise and fall of an ancient kingdom, mapping tales of buried gold, the historic freshwater spring that sustained early riverine settlements, and the enigmatic sacred shrine whose true identity remains unconfirmed.

Moving away from standard, text-heavy historical tours, this atmospheric performance offers a rare, open-ended encounter with mystery itself, exploring a landscape that has outlasted kingdoms, colonial administrations, and military occupations while safeguarding its secrets across centuries.
