Summer-field Community Picnic at Somerfield Park on Sunday 3rd December from 11.30am to 2.30pm.
We welcome families and individuals to join us at our 'Summer'-field Community picnic on Sunday 3rd December from 11.30 to 2.30pm. We aim to 'Keep it Simple Somerfield' while encouraging our community to have fun and connect together and listen to CHris Williams - local singer.
Free ice blocks, treats, music and spot prizes will be at Somerfield Park.
Due to constraints by CCC & consent needed for serving food or having any infrastructure (ie: bouncy castle/ tents) etc at a public park - we have elected to encourage a simpler version for a community event! Hopefully, if this works - more similar & informal events may be created in future!?!
Feel welcome to share this event on to others.

Poll: Pedestrian access is being extended to the Ōtakaro Avon River - good idea?
Pedestrian access from one of Christchurch’s favourite streets is being extended all the way to the Ōtakaro Avon River. This new 12m-wide pathway will give you a direct, easy route from the street to the river promenade ... perfect for a stroll, a coffee run, or just soaking up the riverside vibes.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
