The summer holidays were made for going away and exploring! It’s great to keep the kids busy and active when they are away from the classroom and why not make some amazing memories with family and friends in Christchurch.
Christchurch is the perfect location to head to for an action-packed holiday or day trip. There are so many attractions and activities to choose from along with acres of open space to be explored.
If you are looking for a unique, one off experience, somewhere to enjoy some delicious food & drink or you simply want to pack a picnic and enjoy the great outdoors, we have something for everyone.
Here is a roundup of the most important annual dates for your diary.
The first school holiday of the year is a chance to unwind and relax after settling into a new year! The weather may not always be hot and sunny but there are plenty of indoor attractions to enjoy and who says you can’t put on a pair of wellies and a mac to blow away the cobwebs with a walk along the river or a trip to the beach.
Easter is when the town usually starts to come alive. Spring is in full bloom, the birds are singing and the days are getting longer. Bars and cafes and restaurants are and sprucing up their terraces and fine tuning those seasonal menus, hotels happily emerging from their winter slumber and attractions are gearing up for the kids who are joyous with the thought of no school for two weeks!
Ahhh that fabulous feeeling when the summer stretches out in front of you, and the world is your oyster! But wait, what about the grown ups?

There's so much to see and do, and beautiful beaches to spend those lazy, happy days. You're sure to make so many happy memories on a family holiday in Christchurch.
