What to expect from Christchurch in April

Lucy Pascual
August 1, 2024

Christchurch in April is full of autumn beauty, with the city showing off its seasonal charm. The temperatures range from 7°c to 17°c, so it’s an absolutely perfect time for exploring outdoors and indulging in fresh, local flavours.

Explore the Freshness of Christchurch

A stroll through the Christchurch Botanic Gardens is an absolute must in April, as the colourful autumn foliage paints the gardens in a vibrant vista of reds, oranges and yellows. With cool, refreshing breezes enhancing the experience, you can wander through these beautifully landscaped gardens and discover exotic and native plant species.

A guided tour of the gardens lets you learn about the history and horticultural practices of this green oasis, so you can appreciate the gardens' beauty on a deeper level. If you’re a photographer, you’ll adore the backdrop and fully enjoy this peaceful retreat right in the heart of the city.

If you want to dive into the culinary delights of Christchurch, the Christchurch Kai Safari is a taste adventure that will make your toes curl. This guided tour takes you to much-loved restaurants, local markets, artisan food shops and hidden gems where you can sample the best local Kiwi cuisine.

From fresh seafood to traditional Māori dishes, the Kai Safari is a total feast for the senses; plus, you’ll get a chance to connect with the local culture through its food. April is an ideal time for this tour as the seasonal produce is at its peak, ensuring every bite is bursting with flavour.

If you love a good tipple, April in Christchurch is also a fantastic time to explore the nearby Waipara wine region. The Waipara Wine Tour is a truly relaxing day out among the vineyards, where you can taste some of New Zealand’s finest wines like world-renowned Pinot Noirs and Rieslings.

Celebrate Autumn

While it sometimes falls in May, Christchurch in April usually means Easter celebrations. There’s the Christchurch Easter Show and the Easter Eggstravaganza, where you can enjoy Easter activities, live entertainment, delicious food and, of course, a visit from the Easter Bunny. It’s a great side activity, but if you’d like more fun April activities, check out our Things To Do in Christchurch page.

If you're travelling at any other times, you can check out Christchurch in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December.
