The Naked Finn
Block 39 Malan Road, Gillman Barracks
April 2 (11am-5pm)
A year ago, seafood restaurant The Naked Finn moved from its little shack at 41 Malan Road (which now houses the bar Nekkid) to a full-fledged restaurant just down the street, and this Saturday, it celebrates its first anniversary with a mini farmers’ market.
Some of the products on sale will include locally-farmed barramundi from Kuhlbarra, line-caught coho salmon and lingcod from Alaska imported by The Naked Finn, coffee from Birdy’s Brew, honey from Cerana Honey, and sauces from Mekhala Living. They will also be handing out recipes created using raw ingredients from the market, such as a steamed barramundi using a filet from Kuhlbarra, and two sauces from Mekhala Living.
Open Farm Community Social
Market #4
130E Minden Road
April 2-3 (10am-4pm daily)
A trip to the market at Open Farm Community doesn’t necessarily just mean filling your bag with edibles for the week, it could easily involve a whole day’s activities. For instance, you could participate in one of their yoga classes, bring a picnic basket to lay out on the lawn, or grab a bite from the gourmet food truck – Kerbside Gourmet.
Some of the products on sale include live oysters from Sea Farmers at Ubin, cold-pressed juices with Chinese herbs from Flashjuice, handmade soy and beeswax candles from Candles Of Light, and organic skincare from FrankSkincare.
W.E. x Togetherly
435 Orchard Road
(Isetan, Level 1, Wisma Atria)
April 20 to June 30 (11am-9.30pm daily)
This semi-permanent pop-up by Workshop Element (W.E.) and Togetherly promises to add some indie flair to Orchard Road. The 12,000 sq ft space at Wisma Atria holds over 50 vendors and labels.
Expect quirky finds such as knitted accessories from It Takes Balls, leather pieces from Forest Child, and handmade accessories by Curious Creatures.
As with other Togetherly events, visitors are encouraged to participate in the book exchange, so bring a tome, wrap it at the booth and leave a note for the next reader.
Local musicians such as Jill-Marie Thomas and Victoria Ho will be performing on weekends, and watch out for air plant workshops by Crafted Identity among other programmes.
Retro Factory’s Vintage Flea Market
315 Tanjong Katong Road (Reservation at Vicki’s)
Early May
If you’re a fan of the older things in life, wander down to the Retro Factory’s vintage flea market on Tanjong Katong Road on the first weekend of May. Instead of the usual iPhone cases or handpainted canvases, you’ll find a little slice of history.
The market will feature around 20 vendors hawking vintage cameras, typewriters and gramophones. If shopping isn’t your thing, dance along to jazzy tunes played by guest DJs or sway along with local swing dancers from Dapper & Dames Vintage.
