Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to step into a world of intrigue, passion, and secrets – the Concubines & Mistresses Walking Tour awaits! Love, desire, and yes, a touch of scandal – it’s all part of the story.

The Unequal Equation: Destiny dealt its cards, and mankind found itself unequal. Among consorts, concubines, mistresses, and secret lovers, the wife holds a pivotal role. She keeps the family’s order intact, while others dance to different tunes, with perhaps lesser responsibility.

Ladies of Pleasure: Old-fashioned? Not quite. Throughout history, emperors and kings indulged in the allure of concubines and mistresses. Some “men of distinction” kept more than a few. And guess what? Singapore followed suit.

Secrets and Favoured Haunts: Some relationships thrived in secrecy, while others were open secrets. Our city had its favourite spots where these “men of distinction” met their clandestine companions.

Bukit Pasoh: Today, its beautifully conserved shophouses and buildings stand as silent witnesses. Once, they housed lucky women who sought comfort with wealthy men. But what was life like for these women? We’ll stroll down this short street and imagine.

Define and Capture: Bring your dictionary – we’ll unravel the true meanings of consort, concubine, mistress, secret lover, and wife. And don’t forget your cameras –some spots are Instagram-worthy!

Join us at 9:00 am on Sunday, 26th May 2024. As for where this tour ends? Well, that’s a delightful mystery we’ll uncover together!

Meeting Point: Outram Park MRT station (Exit 4, in the direction of Dorsett Hotel, street level).
