EVENTS

We run some of the South Island’s best events.

From big community fun runs to industry expos, our events bring people together and give businesses a way to connect directly with local audiences. 

CHRISTCHURCH

Home & Leisure Show

The Christchurch Home & Leisure Show is packed with fresh ideas, clever products and practical advice for the home.

It’s where industry meets inspiration and provides businesses with a chance to get in front of homeowners looking to improve, renovate or redecorate.

CHRISTCHURCH

City2Surf

Join thousands of Cantabrians for this iconic fun run. City2Surf is held every year and offers two distances: 12km or 6km. Walk, jog or run — it’s up to you.

It’s more than just a run. It’s a day out with live entertainment and a feel-good finish line. 

There are also sponsorship opportunities. It’s a great way to align your brand with a loved local event and reach people across our media platforms. 

SOUTH ISLAND-WIDE

Rural Champions

Rural Champions is our biggest rural campaign. It celebrates the people who keep the rural South ticking: the farmers, producers, innovators and workers who go the extra mile. 

Through a mix of print, digital and event coverage, we share their stories and recognise their contribution to rural communities across the region.

Businesses can get involved through sponsorship and advertising, offering huge reach across our rural network.  It’s about shining a light on the people who make rural life better for everyone.
