Events at Te Pae Christchurch

28 February 2023

Our events calendar for 2023 has already kicked back into gear, with Game On Canterbury – a new sport and active recreation expo – one of the first to take place in mid-February.


This whānau (family) friendly event attracted over a thousand members of the community, with participants spending the day trying a host of new activities from the traditional (rugby, cricket and netball) to the not-so-traditional (roller derby, pickleball and fencing).

Next month we have a wide array of events from the 8th Biennial Whisky and Dram Festival to the Southern Women in Public Service Summit, as well as our first live music event. We’re thrilled to welcome world renowned house DJs, Basement Jaxx to Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre on Thursday 30 March 2023. With well known tunes like ‘Romeo’ and ‘Where’s your head at’, Basement Jaxx have been a crowd favourite for almost 15 years. Tickets are on sale now via Endeavour Live.

In April, we welcome Armageddon back for the second time. The first event with us in December 2022 also marked the first time the expo has been back to central Christchurch since 2010.

We are also delighted to be the host venue for a series of charity events, including the Child Cancer Sparkle for Hope Ball and Gala Dinner in early May.
