Christchurch is known as the “Garden City” of New Zealand and spring will be here when you arrive. A very beautiful time of year to appreciate our environment.
We
are still recovering from the 2010/11 earthquakes and their 10,000+ aftershocks (thankfully behind us) and, alongside the many new and rebuilt facilities, visitors will see vacant lots brightened by murals and a number of damaged buildings awaiting repair/replacement.
are still recovering from the 2010/11 earthquakes and their 10,000+ aftershocks (thankfully behind us) and, alongside the many new and rebuilt facilities, visitors will see vacant lots brightened by murals and a number of damaged buildings awaiting repair/replacement.We are also now recovering from the recent terrorist attack, which was so uncharacteristic of New Zealand society and which, we are determined to show, strengthened rather than weakened our community bonds.
The conference venue is our iconic Town Hall, an architectural award-winning building situated in the heart of the city on the banks of the Avon River, which opened in March 2019 after $150million earthquake repairs.
Christchurch is a foodie heaven boasting over 900 cafes, restaurants and cool bars. We have wonderful New Zealand wineries on our doorstep and fantastic local craft beers.
Christchurch is the gateway to the scenic South Island with a variety of activities to enjoy. Consider extending your stay to see the country.
Plan to arrive early and/or to stay late, to experience our revitalised and regenerated city, hospitality and environs and to travel further to enjoy the unique New Zealand landscape.
