Thrifters rejoice – Saturday 29th March is a big one! With TWO exceptional markets in the city, you’d be crazy to miss this opportunity for some absolute second-hand gold.
Burnett Foundation and Nifty are running a large Flea Market and have included the large carpark of Naylor Love opposite the Te Toka Centre (284 Cashel Street), as well as Nifty back carpark. And Boo.Teek at Boxed Quarter is filling the lanes with stalls – from independent artists, crafters, to vintage sellers, and more.
Every March, five short films made by filmmakers from around the world are selected from BFI: Flare’s festival programme and made available online for an exclusive period of 12 days.
Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū and Otautahi Christchurch Pride are excited to share those global LGBTQIA+ stories with you on Wednesday 26 March.
This year, one of the chosen films is from New Zealand!!

When best friends Alex and Sam are left at home for the night, they do what all teenage boys do: raid mum’s wardrobe, play dress ups, and create a fantasy world where they feel safe and accepted. Well, maybe that’s just what some boys do. But little do they know, the parents are on to them. Is there a safe bubble about to burst?
Christchurch Pride, like Ōtautahi itself, is growing stronger and stronger. We’re excited to invite you, your friends and whanau to join us in celebrating who we are, our diversity and our city.
To make this a family celebration; to make it inclusive for all; to celebrate with pride and visibility; and to bring together the diverse groups within the LGBTQIA+ community.
You might have noticed some changes around here… We've always loved our old logo—it’s been a big part of our story. But as our community grows and evolves, we felt it was time for a fresh look. Our new logo reflects where we are now and the vibrant, diverse community we’re proud to be a part of. While we honor the past, we’re moving forward to keep things relevant and true to who we are today.
