After Hours @ My Bukit Brown with Andrew Lin

Get your torchlights out and keep your eyes peeled for the many activities occurring at night in the Bukit Brown Cemetery! Join long-time Brownie Andrew Lin in this tour that will look at the different graves but more importantly the various activities, practices and rituals that keep this resting place for the dead very much alive after hours!

Meet your guide, Andrew!

Hi everyone, I am Andrew Lin and I am part of the ‘Brownies’. For Singaporeans who think that Bukit Brown Cemetery is ‘dead’, I want to change your mind and show you that the cemetery is very much alive, bursting with stories of the past and the present both in the day and at night!

Even though I have visited Bukit Brown for over a decade, I am still constantly surprised by how it changes with each visit. From bringing previously hidden graves to light to finding pop-up shrines, the place is full of stories and secrets and there is something new to learn every time! If you think you already know Bukit Brown, think again as we venture into Bukit Brown in this after-hours tour and find out what goes on after night falls!
