North Canterbury Food and Wine Festival latest event to be cancelled
The North Canterbury Food and Wine Festival is the latest event to be cancelled due to Covid-19.
More than 4000 people were expected to attend the festival on March 6 in Glenmark.
Under the red traffic light system, large gatherings are limited to 100 people, meaning organisers had “no choice but to cancel”.
Organisers said on the event’s website they were “truly heartbroken”.
“We're gutted that we won't be able to put a few smiles on your faces with good tunes, great food and some of the best wine in the country.”
All tickets will automatically transfer to the 2023 event, but a full refund is available through iTicket.
Several big events in Canterbury have already been cancelled this year, including the Great Kiwi Beer Festival, Electric Avenue and Nostalgia festival.
Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.
Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

9.4% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.5% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.1% Against. I want to deal with people.
Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦
Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.
Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.
So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)
-
32.4% Yes!
-
67.6% No thank you.
