Christchurch night market lets local businesses take the spotlight
Hey neighbours,
The Christchurch Night Market at the Bush Inn Centre in Riccarton is the city’s latest night market, offering a range of food, drink, crafts and other quirky items.
The market runs every Saturday from 6pm to 11pm and has more than 100 stalls ranging from food to crafts and entertainment, and is continuing to grow week on week.
Torrential rain and wind for the Canterbury region in recent days forced the market to cancel last Saturday, but its stallholders, organisers and regular visitors are ready to make up for lost time in the next rendition this coming Saturday.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
