Christchurch Art Gallery (Te Puna o Waiwhetu)

Reviewed By Champagne552014 - Sydney, Australia

We spent over three hours in this beautifully presented modern Art Gallery, as there was plenty to see, and entry is free. I loved the sailing paintings upstairs, by van der Voorden. He really knew how to portray clouds and waves. The highlight for me was the Ron Mueck silicon sculpture of a man at a table. What brilliant attention to detail (that's real hair). Thank you staff for being so helpful too! If you need a break, there is a lovely restaurant at the entrance, or it is a short stroll to Riverside Markets, which is also well worth a visit. Don't miss this excellent Art Gallery when you next visit Christchurch.

The Arts Centre Makete

At The Arts Centre Mākete you’ll find local artisans showcasing their quality, handmade goods – arts and crafts, freshly made delicacies and more. Set against the backdrop of the historical Arts Centre Te Matatiki Toi Ora, the market offers a relaxing Sunday shopping experience in the heart of the city. This mākete, which is proudly supported by Christchurch City Council through the Enliven Places Projects Fund, runs from 10.00am to 3.00pm every Sunday in winter.

This Sunday only market is a small little market with vendors and food trucks. We especially liked the soap vendor. What we did like is across the street there are woodworker shops and souvenir stores in that little area. Also the building next-door has some wonderful stores inside in the upper floors. So make sure you explore the whole area when you go.

Christchurch Farmers' Market

Christchurch's premiere Farmers' Market centrally located in the picturesque grounds of the historic Riccarton House & Grounds, 16 Kahu rd, just 5 minutes walk from Riccarton Mall. Open every Saturday from 9am - 1pm. Stroll through the amazing array of local, fresh, seasonal food stalls, talk to farmers, producers and artisans, indulge in fresh organic coffees, relax on the riverbank or the expansive grounds and listen to live music.

Very walkable with lots of tasty lunch options plus honey, venison sausages, high quality cheeses, flowers, veg & fruits. I actually liked that it wasn’t enormously big. Lovely park setting.
