Activities that capture the area’s energy make an ordinary event thrive. Christchurch is home to a variety of options that exude the city’s classic charm.
Thanks to Christchurch Attractions, filling a day of fun for delegates or guests in and around the city can be done with the help of one friendly team. Between the iconic Christchurch Tram, a peaceful punt down the Avon, and the beauty of the gondola’s panoramic views, entertaining in the city is made easy – with function packages available to suit the needs of your event.
TRAM
Key locations citywide border the Christchurch Tram’s route, including Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre, the
Town Hall, and Riverside Market. Hiring the trams to transfer guests between venues provides unmatched ease and a taste of heritage. Before dinner or the big event, treat your delegates to something they won’t stop talking about: a private one-hour tram ride complete with drinks and canapés. Inside the 36-seat 1920s car, find the Tramway Restaurant catering to everything from intimate family functions or corporate Christmas gatherings with curated dining experiences.
GONDOLA
The Gondola is your gateway to gorgeous views of the city, offering a memorable backdrop for photo opportunities. With a multi-purpose space on a private level, it’s fuss-free to play host to meetings, buffet lunches, team-building activities, and celebrations of any kind. With walking tracks at the door and access to and from the base of the gondola ride, this venue offers something unique.
PUNTING ON THE AVON
For a relaxing escape from a busy conference or overwhelming event, gliding down the Avon is an eco-friendly answer. Choose to float through the Botanic Gardens or glide past Victoria Square and the central city on a privately-chartered punt. Embrace the wildlife that surrounds your group while a classically-attired punter offers city insights.
WIN
For business with a view, Christchurch Attractions is giving away one hire session for the Gondola meeting space and complimentary Gondola rides for a group of up to 15. Email deputy.editor@metros.co.nz with your contact details by 21 August 2025 to enter. T&Cs apply.
