While unsuccessfully trying to check out Christchurch's famed Arts Centre recently (it was closed due to quake damage), I was lucky enough to stumble across this charming crafts market tucked in a section directly across the road.
A group of the woodworkers and craftspeople who used to have shops in the Arts Centre have kitted out a couple of shipping containers (apparently all the rage in Chch) and have built a small but bustling outdoor market around them. As a Wellingtonian down on holiday, it was great to see these local artisans getting together and building a lovely sunny outlet for their beautiful wares.
I don't know their hours, but I dropped by on a Wednesday so I guess it's safe to say they're open most days - not just weekends. I couldn't find an 'official' website but the link below has plenty of info.

Visited on Tuesday 22nd May. We walked along Worcester Boulevard starting at the Botanic Gardens and ending up back in the City Centre, it has a great mix of buildings and things to see as you walk along. Or you can take a tram ride along some of it.

Worchester Blvd is an interesting street linking Cathedral Square with Rolleston Avenue. We walked this street in route to the Botanic Garden.
From Cathedral Square west, you will see a handful of buildings which are still off limits and in need of repair from the 2011 earthquakes.
After you pass the Avon River, you will see the modern Christchurch Art Gallery as well as a cluster of historic properties of nice architecture nearer to Rolleston Ave. which host the Christchurch i-Site and Arts Centre.

Although the street is 300-metre long, it's the way to find the Museum, Christ School, and the i-site on one side, while you walk you can see old houses and buildings as well as a small market to reach the art gallery on the opposite side.

It was a short walk and you will see a statue of Captain Scott, a park and the Avon River. The Worcester Boulevard was earlier designed as a central street running through the city.

Usually just walk through the area quickly, but due to the buskers festival, we stayed so much longer. There were free sweets for children and brilliant circus type acts which are on for the next few days. Take a look. The fudge shop behind the icentre is worth a look.

It's quite nice to stroll down Worcester Boulevard as long as the horrible Christchurch Easterly wind isn't on the howl. If it is, steer well clear and visit another day!
It runs East to West from the Canterbury Museum to Cathedral Square so, of course, each view down the Boulevard ends with a venerable stone building......or bit's of one anyway! On your left you will find the Christchurch Arts Centre and on the right, the Art Gallery, both of which are 'don't miss' places in CHCH.

With Christ College at one end, it is situated in a beautiful area and during the day you can spend a long time on this street. Although I did visit at night time and didn't spend too long looking.

There are a lot of buildings along this street. One of them is I-site, where new travelers can get help. Cantebury museum is at the end of the street. Trams pass this street also.

This is a lovely street with some great old buildings that have survived the earthquakes. There’s also loads to do down here.
