Events in Christchurch From 18th May – 24th May 2026
Home · Events in Christchurch This Week
You can find a range of events in Christchurch this week. There are regular music and comedy nights, including live jazz performances. For weekend plans, consider a walk around Christchurch Harbour, where boat trips are available. The Priory Church remains a central landmark, and the Ferrymead Railway offers a heritage ride. Roadworks continue near Bargates due to bypass construction, so allow extra time when travelling. The Christchurch Bus Interchange connects several areas, but cars remain the most common way to get around. The ferry service to Mudeford Sandbank is unreliable in peak seasons, and access to the Sandspit depends on this route. The Christchurch Gondola provides views across the town, though the harbour area can be busy.
