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: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
