We’ll explore the history of the area, visit a selection of heritage homes, learn about Chesterfields Reserve, and look at the 1980s beautification project that helped shape this much‑loved inner‑city haven.

Christchurch has nine Residential Heritage Areas protected in the District Plan — each representing a distinct chapter in Ōtautahi’s story. Chester/Dawson is one of the most intact, with a strong sense of place and community.

Tour led by local resident, Simone Rewa Pearson, booking required.
