Touch of Tartan- Revel in the Spirit of Scotland

Once again, Clarke Quay will play host to Touch of Tartan (TOT) from the 30th of November (Friday) to the 1st of December (Saturday), after a great turnout at the inaugural event staged in December 2006.

The World Gathers at Clarke Quay, the Soul of the City, for Christmas

This year, Clarke Quay celebrates the Yuletide Season by enticing one and all to revel in the unique atmosphere that only Clarke Quay provides.

With over 60 distinctive F&B and entertainment outlets to choose from in the cultural and historical area by the river, the definitive place to be for the 12 days of Christmas has to be Clarke Quay. Christmas parties would not be complete without good food and drinks together with family and friends and here at Clarke Quay, one would simply be spoilt for choice.

40 outlets are having promotions or special programmes for the festive season, ranging from special festive menus and sets at restaurants such as Coriander Leaf, Baize, Marrakesh Moroccan Restaurant and Cuba Libre, to outlets such as Häagen-Dazs and Coffee Club offering Christmas goodies, and not forgetting the wide-selection of bars and clubs offering special festive programmes such as guest DJs as well as Christmas-themed concoctions. Clarke Quay guarantees a memorable festive night whatever you choose to have for the night.

Clarke Quay also brings you a special treat of jazz music. Paris-born jazz singer Guylen commenced her signing career in 1997 with “Difference”, a gospel choir which is now known as “Checkers”. She travelled throughout France and in 2000 and had the opportunity to perform with the famous “Golden Quartet” in Saint-Remy Les Chevreuses. She has delighted audiences with her love of music, passion and the warm timbre of her voice. Guylen will be performing a round of Jazz at the Central Square on 6, 13, 20 & 24 Dec. With no admission charge, everyone and anyone can come and have their hearts warmed this Christmas.

This year, Clarke Quay differentiates itself by ditching the green and red theme for a deep, rich, alluring pink, embodying the fun and the passion of the season, beckoning you to come and indulge in wining, dining and partying the days and nights of the Yuletide away with your loved ones.

The spirit of Clarke Quay beckons the world to come and be enthralled by the delectable Yuletide spread, right at the soul of the city.

Come and be bewitched this festive season at Clarke Quay.
