Pockets of Awesome is a community focused on things to see and do in beautiful Ōtautahi Christchurch.

We've been keeping a secret 🤫

A pretty exciting one... we’re officially moving in with Ōtautahi Christchurch 🥳🤸

For years, Pockets of Awesome has been unlocking the hidden gems, local favourites and stories that make Ōtautahi special, and we’ve loved every minute of it.

But the truth is, Christchurch is no longer just a series of pockets. The energy, creativity, food, people and experiences shaping this city deserve to be celebrated together under the same whare 🫶

So while this page is evolving, the heart behind it isn’t going anywhere. You’ll just find us over at Ōtautahi Christchurch sharing even more of the places, people and stories we love.

Thank you for being part of the ride 💛
