Phillipstown murals walk.
10am 5th November
The Phillipstown Murals Walk is part of the Phillipstown Walks project.
The Phillipstown Walks is a series of free, resident-led guided walks within Phillipstown that celebrate local history and the knowledge residents hold.
This walk will focus on discovering the pieces of street art that colour the walls of many building in our neighbourhood.
This walk is organised in collaboration with Watch this Space. Reuben Woods, Watch this Space creative director (whose PhD focused on graffiti and street art within post-earthquake Christchurch) will lead our tour around Phillipstown.
Come along to learn and share stories about the Phillipstown murals and street art and connect with your neighbours.
The walk is perfect for the young, the old, those who have lived in Phillipstown for years, and our newest neighbours as well.
At the end of the walk, we will stop at the Phillipstown Community hub for a coffee or a juice while chatting about the walk and the street art in Phillipstown
The walk is about 2 km at a slow pace. If that's a possible issue, we recommend use of mobility aids.
In case of very bad weather conditions, the walk will be postponed to the following day, Sunday 6 November, same time.

Gang presence this weekend
International members of the Mongols MC are expected in Canterbury for an event marking five years since the gang established itself in New Zealand.
What you need to know:
-The gang has three chapters in the South Island. Wainoni-based Ōtautahi East, Ashburton-based Mid-South and SH1, Burnham.
- Police say they will have ‘considerable resource’ in the region during the event from November 7-10.
- Police in Canterbury have planned a major operation around the event - thought to coincide with a national meeting - from November 7 to 10, and have drafted in staff from two other districts to help.
- Mongols members from across the country are expected to meet at the gang’s original South Island headquarters - a fortified property on SH1, Burnham, on the outskirts of Christchurch.
- Canterbury district commander Superintendent Tony Hill says:
“We’re prepared for multiple contingencies. We will be monitoring their behaviour very closely over the period, if they’re not behaving appropriately then we will be taking appropriate action quite swiftly.”
