It’s Spring, And Ōtautahi Christchurch Is ON SHOW
How good is spring? Longer days, a bunch of events to enjoy and a big BYE BYE to winter. We love spring in Christchurch.
A packed calendar of stuff to do. Avenues lined with blossom. Parks carpeted with daffodils. It’s when our city and region is properly ON SHOW. What’s not to love?
Watch horses and sip on bubbles and then soak in seaside hot pools. Zip down a hillside and then cheer for international netballers. Gaze up at big stage rockstars and then sit riverside for cocktails.
So, abandon your hibernation and venture out for adventure. There’s a heap on.
