The market is a bustling, colourful place to spend a leisurely Saturday or Sunday. Over 120 artists and craftspeople offer unique New Zealand craft for sale-great for gifts of a special memento of a trip to Christchurch. There's something for everyone. Have a snack or or lunch at the International Food Fair, or stop awhile and enjoy the live entertainment between 12 and 2pm. Street buskers and people watching are optional extras! The Arts Centre is one of New Zealand's most significant historic and cultural attractions. Once the original University of Canterbury, these distinctive Gothic Revival buildings are now a dynamic venue for arts, shopping and entertainment. More than forty specialty shops and studios are housed here, as well as art galleries, theaters, cinemas, cafes, restaurants and bars.
Each weekend there's the Art and Craft Market, top local entertainment, and an International Food Fair offering delicious tastes from around the world. An exciting programme of festivals, concert and events is also held year round. Must see historical features include the Den Of Noble Prize winning scientists Ernerst Lord Rutherford, the Oldest Lecture Hall in New Zealand, the Great Hall (complete with magnificent stained glass window) and the Townsend Observatory with its working telescope. The Arts Centre is open seven days a week and has free entry.
