Look out for our jam-packed Winter What’s-On Guide, delivered to thousands of local homes in November, detailing all the events happening in Christchurch. There’s snow much to do in this winter, yule love it! From festive fayres and hands-on crafting to live entertainment and a festival of comedy leading you through to the New Year.
Eloise Howes, Operations Manager for Christchurch BID, enthused, “Many groups are adding events and activities for all to enjoy, and we are pulling them together into one handy Winter What’s On Guide. This is an evolving publication as there is so much to share, but it will be bursting at the seams with all the events happening in Christchurch this Winter. The Winter What’s On guide will be delivered to homes in Christchurch, or you can pick up a guide at any of the retail outlets!”
Christchurch BID invites one and all to experience a spectacular season of events across Christchurch and we are particularly looking forward to the festive activities, including Carols in the Square, Elf Hunt Trail, The Pro2col Christmas Jumper Day with BID Business Elf Games, shows, pantomimes, and of course the much anticipated Christmas Light Switch-On. Keep a lookout on Christchurch BID socials for the latest information.
Wrap up warm and come and enjoy all Christchurch has to offer. There will be something for everyone to enjoy.
