Christchurch Cool Vibes
Post-quake Christchurch is a little bit of clever and a whole lot of cool. We’ve hunted out some of our favourite concepts to covet, objects to desire and things to do.
Great grants! We’re excited to hear that Christchurch Casinos Charitable Trust (CCCT) has increased its 2018 Grants to $186,500. Since being established 23 years ago, Christchurch Casinos Charitable Trust has given a total of $4,092,250 in grants to support community groups working to support and educate for prevention of compulsive and addictive problems.
A powerful promenade On 25 November, Christchurch will be celebrating the opening of the City Promenade, so why not head into the CBD to enjoy entertainment, face painting, food, drink and a $10,000 scavenger hunt!
Resourceful creativity From 8 – 11 November Necessary Traditions is a festival celebrating resourceful craft and other necessary traditions. Watch skilled demonstrations at the Arts Centre and sign yourself up for a workshop.
A sweet mix If it was even possible, New Zealand Cup & Show week at Addington Raceway just got better with Sons of Zion and Sweet Kids Mix hitting up Christchurch Casino New Zealand Trotting Cup Day on the 13 November.
Tasty Thai Treats On the 11 November we’re getting a delicious taste of Thailand right here in Christchurch. Authentic Thai food, traditional Thai dancing, music and cooking demonstrations will be held at the Thai Food Fair at the new Rauora Park.
Colouring in the red zone The Colour Zone Run will bring much more than red to the residential red zone, in fact, all the colours of the rainbow will be on display on Sunday 25 November during this 5km run/walk. Visit www.colourzonerun.co.nz.
A charitable choir We’re loving the Cantabrainers Choir. Created for people with neurological conditions, such as Stroke and Parkinson’s Disease, its purpose is not so much to create sweet music, but to provide a safe environment in which members can rediscover their voice through singing and socialising. Head along from 10 to 11:45am on Wednesdays during school terms at Mary Potter Community Centre, 442 Durham Street Nor
Jesus Christ Superstar! We’re looking forward to The Court Theatre bringing the most loved rock musical to the stage in its summer production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Jesus Christ Superstar. Director Stephen Robertson and musical director Richard Marrett will be bringing a ‘70s feel to the theatre for this iconic musical, complete with a rock concert atmosphere that will thrill audiences throughout summer from 24 November.
