If you’re looking for something fresh, fun, and furry to do in Singapore this October, mark your calendar for The Botanist Picnic Pawradise, happening Saturday, 18 October 2025, at the CHIJMES Main Lawn. This free event is where craft cocktails meet canine cuddles — the ultimate day out for gin enthusiasts and pet parents alike.
A Pet-Friendly Picnic with a Twist
The Botanist Picnic Pawradise transforms CHIJMES into a gin-filled green haven, bringing together mixology workshops, eco-friendly fun, and all things pawsome. Think lush picnic vibes, refreshing drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere where furkids are part of the celebration.
This event is not just another gin pop-up — it’s a full-sensory experience created to bring together community, sustainability, and joy. Entry is free for everyone, but early birds can grab exclusive bundles packed with goodies and access to workshops.
What to Expect
Pot a Botanical Workshop
If you’ve ever wanted to take a piece of The Botanist home with you (beyond the bottle), this is your chance. The Pot a Botanical Workshop lets you plant one of the 22 botanicals found in The Botanist Gin — from fragrant herbs to delicate flowers. You’ll walk away with your own mini garden inspired by the gin’s Islay roots.
Create Your Own Gin & Tonic
At the Gin & Tonic Buffet Bar, unleash your inner mixologist. With up to four customizable G&Ts to mix, you’ll get to experiment using The Botanist Gin, a curated selection of Fever Tree mixers, and a rainbow of fresh garnishes. Whether you like your gin citrusy, floral, or bold — your signature serve awaits.
Pet-Friendly Experiences
True to its name, Pawradise celebrates our four-legged friends. Expect adorable pet caricature sessions, curated pet stalls featuring healthy treats, stylish accessories, and lifestyle products designed for modern pet parents. There’s plenty to browse, sniff, and wag about.
Movie Under the Stars
As the sun sets, grab your picnic mat for a special outdoor screening of Marley & Me at 7pm. The classic heartwarming film is the perfect way to wind down after a day of sipping and socializing.
