Open Christchurch 2027

Te Pūtahi's annual weekend festival opening more than 50 buildings across Ōtautahi Christchurch to the public, with walks, talks and tours

Location: Buildings across Ōtautahi Christchurch

Date: 30 April 2027 to 2 May 2027

Open Christchurch returns from Friday 30 April to Sunday 2 May 2027, opening around 50 buildings across Ōtautahi Christchurch to the public for a single weekend. The festival is run by Te Pūtahi Centre for Architecture and City-Making and is held each year on the first weekend of May. The preview programme lists 53 buildings plus four walking and cycling tours.

Alongside the building openings there are guided walks covering designed landscapes and urban design, plus talks, tours, exhibitions, workshops, audio tours and activities for young people and whānau. Of the listed buildings, 33 need no booking and 25 require bookings, and the popular tours book out early. The 2027 programme is published as a preview and details may change before the festival.

For architects in Christchurch, the weekend is the most direct way to see how the rebuilt city is being used, and to get inside projects by local practices that are otherwise closed to visitors. It’s also the one weekend of the year when the public queues up to talk about architecture.
