    About Christchurch

    Christchurch, known for its English heritage, is not only the gateway to New Zealand's South Island but also a city with a growing LGBTQ+ community. The city offers a modest yet welcoming gay scene, primarily centered around local bars and yearly events that bring together both locals and visitors.

    One of the highlights of the LGBTQ+ calendar in Christchurch is the annual Pride Week, which features a variety of events ranging from parties and film nights to discussions and cultural shows, celebrating diversity and fostering community spirit. While smaller compared to Auckland's Pride, Christchurch's version is deeply cherished for its intimate and friendly atmosphere.

    The city's recovery from the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011 has seen a resurgence of the arts and nightlife, with the LGBTQ+ community playing a significant role in the cultural rebirth. The area around St Asaph Street, known for its vibrant culinary scene and nightlife, has become a hotspot for inclusive and gay-friendly venues.
