Entertainment


Cinemas
There are cinemas in various places around the country. The Mall Cineplex in Gadong, Bandar Seri Begawan is the best with its multiple screens. In Jerudong, the Empire Hotel & Country Club has the Empire Cinema, while nearby Seria has the OGDC Theatre (Oil & Gas Discovery Centre), and the Seri Qlap Cineplex is at Seri Q-Lap Mall in Kiulap.


Live musicThere is the odd live band but the lack of bars, pubs and clubs makes it tough to know where to look. Some of Bandar Seri Begawan’s large hotels have the odd live gig, while Jerudong Park, in the southwest of the country, sometimes puts on shows with local talent


Shopping
Shopping is the biggest deal in Brunei. There are several massive shopping malls in the capital city and other major cities, and most also come with a measure of entertainment. The YSHHB mall and the Tamu night market are the main places to shop in the capital, while the nearby mall in Gadong is also popular. Silverware and handmade baskets are popular items to buy.


Sporting eventsFootball, tennis, and golf are all big in Brunei and there are many sizeable tournaments held here throughout the year. Polo is especially popular, owing to the sultan’s love for horses. There are studs and polo grounds all over the country and facilities are usually top-notch owing to massive funding by the government


Theater and dance
Despite the country’s rich past, theater and dance in Brunei is limited and there is a distinct lack of cultural venues. Cinemas appeal to the average Bruneian, although the Radio Television Theater in Bandar plays host to the odd cultural show.
