Looking for something exciting to do this weekend without spending a fortune? Singtel has a sweet little surprise lined up that is worth pencilling into the calendar. On 23 and 24 August 2025, Singtel will be hosting a delightful in-store promotion at two of their outlets – 313@Somerset and Tampines Mall. For two afternoons only, from 1 pm to 3 pm, visitors can look forward to free ice cream and the chance to redeem a limited edition travel pouch, all while learning more about BBC Player and how CAST.SG makes streaming smarter and more rewarding.
For those unfamiliar, BBC Player is a premium streaming service that allows subscribers to enjoy the best British entertainment, drama, lifestyle shows, documentaries, and children’s programmes, all on demand. Whether one enjoys thrilling detective dramas, historical documentaries, or light-hearted comedies, BBC Player has plenty to offer. With Singtel CAST.SG, signing up for BBC Player becomes even more rewarding, as the platform allows subscribers to stack apps and enjoy savings of up to 10% monthly when they bundle multiple streaming services.
Now, let’s talk about why this event is worth attending.
Firstly, who can resist free ice cream? Singapore’s hot and humid weather makes it the perfect treat, and the best part is that anyone can enjoy it. All one needs to do is follow @BBCPlayer and @Singtel on social media, and the free ice cream is theirs to enjoy. It’s simple, fuss-free, and perfect for those already planning to shop or stroll in Orchard Road or Tampines that weekend.
Secondly, there is the limited edition travel pouch up for grabs. Stylish, handy, and practical, it’s the kind of accessory that comes in useful for everyday errands or short getaways. To redeem it, one simply needs to sign up for a BBC Player subscription on CAST.SG or show proof of an existing subscription. The good news is that BBC Player is available with a 30-day free trial on CAST.SG, so even those who are new to the platform can take advantage of this offer without any upfront cost. It’s a great opportunity to explore what BBC Player has to offer while walking away with a thoughtful gift.
This event is not just about the freebies. It’s also a chance to discover how CAST.SG works. Unlike other streaming platforms, CAST.SG operates as an app marketplace where subscribers can customise their streaming experience. Rather than paying full price for multiple subscriptions across different platforms, they can bundle their favourite apps and enjoy up to 10% off monthly. This makes a big difference for families or households with diverse entertainment needs. For example, one person might love BBC Player’s documentaries, while another prefers sports or kids’ channels. With CAST.SG, they can build a tailored package that saves them money every month.
Singtel’s decision to host this in-store promotion at 313@Somerset and Tampines Mall also makes it easily accessible for many shoppers. Orchard Road is the hub for shopping and leisure in Singapore, while Tampines Mall is a popular destination in the east. Both are conveniently located near MRT stations, so whether one lives in central Singapore or the east, popping by for a quick visit will be easy. Plus, the event is only two hours long each day, which makes it feel like an exclusive window of opportunity.
Why should one make the effort to go? Beyond the obvious perks of free ice cream and a travel pouch, there is also the chance to speak with Singtel staff directly. They can answer questions about subscriptions, explain how the CAST.SG marketplace works, and even suggest the best app bundles for different households. For those who might have been curious about BBC Player but never took the plunge, this is the perfect chance to learn more without commitment. With the 30-day free trial, it’s a risk-free way to test the service and decide whether it is worth keeping.
It’s also worth mentioning that the timing of this promotion is spot-on. The weekend is when families, couples, and groups of friends are out shopping or enjoying leisure time. This means it’s easy to combine this event with other weekend activities. Planning a shopping spree at 313@Somerset? Why not stop by the Singtel shop between 1 pm and 3 pm for a free treat. Meeting friends for lunch in Tampines Mall? Pop in afterwards to grab an ice cream and redeem the travel pouch. It’s convenient, quick, and rewarding.
Another reason why this event is appealing is that it highlights the collaboration between Singtel and BBC Player. In today’s crowded streaming market, it can be overwhelming to choose which services to pay for. Promotions like these give consumers the chance to explore platforms in a light-hearted way while adding value through freebies. For families with children, BBC Player’s kids’ programmes can be a big draw. For adults, the documentaries, British dramas, and lifestyle shows are world-class. The trial period means everyone can give it a try before deciding whether it is worth subscribing long-term.
What makes this stand out from other promotions is its balance of fun and practicality. Free ice cream is a crowd-pleaser, while the travel pouch is genuinely useful. Add in the savings potential from CAST.SG, and it becomes clear that this is more than just a simple giveaway – it’s about introducing people to smarter ways to enjoy entertainment.
So, if you’re free this weekend, it’s well worth visiting either 313@Somerset or Tampines Mall to take part. The event doesn’t take much time, yet the rewards are immediate. Plus, it’s an excellent opportunity to explore BBC Player and see how it fits into one’s lifestyle, all with the added bonus of saving money through Singtel’s CAST.SG platform.
In short, it’s an outing that combines fun, freebies, and future savings – a winning combination that makes it hard to pass up.
