Our city’s world-class venue: Te Pae Convention Centre
In the heart of our city, something world-class and wonderful awaits.
Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre isn’t just a place for major conferences and international exhibitions – it’s a space for our community to connect, celebrate, and create unforgettable experiences.
Since opening in December 2021, it has played a key role in revitalising the central city and is generating significant economic impact – bringing national and international visitors who stay, dine and explore Christchurch and beyond.
Designed to reflect the landscapes and culture of our region, the award-winning building is a striking example of modern architecture. Every aspect is designed with sustainability in mind, from energy efficiency to responsible waste management, so you can feel good knowing your event is supporting a greener future.
“We’re proud to celebrate the unique flavours of our region by showcasing locally sourced produce across our menus,” says Te Pae’s general manager Ross Steele. “Our chefs work closely with farmers and artisan producers to create fresh, seasonal dishes that reflect the best of Canterbury cuisine. Our commitment to local is also reflected in our community tour programme, an opportunity for the public to explore our stunning spaces and learn the stories about Te Pae Christchurch.
“So, whether you’re planning a meeting, charity event, banquet dinner, school ball, wedding reception, cultural celebration, or community workshop, our team is here to bring your vision to life with care, creativity and expertise.”
