July Sketchwalk at Fort Siloso








Hi Sketchers!
For July 2026's month end sketchwalk, we have a special collab sketchwalk with Sentosa to sketch at Fort Siloso.
This is your chance to hang out with some big guns and shoot the breeze while capturing scenes of Singapore’s fight for survival in the Second World War. There are lots of displays and exhibits scattered around the sprawling fort. You may check out their website and the map linked below to see some of the highlights.
We will gather at the start of the Heritage/Gun Trail where we will meet our hosts for a short welcome briefing before proceeding into the fort proper. We will gather at the Fort Siloso Square for our closing and show and tell.
Bring your hats, umbrellas, sunblock, mozzie repellent, and lots of water. Shelter may be scarce in some areas.
Give yourself some time to make your way there. The best way is by the free internal shuttle Bus A from Beach Station. If you are driving, you can park at Beach Station Car Park.
Getting there:
- By Sentosa Express: Alight at Beach Station. Transfer to Sentosa Bus A or Beach Shuttle
- By Public Bus: Board Bus 123 and alight at Beach Station. Transfer to Sentosa Bus A or Beach Shuttle
- By Intra-Island Bus: Board Sentosa Bus A and alight at Siloso Point
