Ōtautahi's premiere venues are an iconic part of the city – spaces for connection, celebration, entertainment, trade and manaakitanga. From the historic to the contemporary, each has something unique to offer, and each plays a vital role of supporting Christchurch's social, cultural and economic wellbeing.
Operated with community in mind, these are spaces for all people, young and old, to create memories, discover and grow, and look to the future, together. Nau mai, haere mai – welcome back to your venues.
