Christchurch Home Show 2026: where to stay in Christchurch

The Canterbury Home Show is Canterbury's longest-running home improvement expo, bringing together more than 150 exhibitors under one roof at Wolfbrook Arena Addington. Across three days, visitors can explore the latest products, services and trends in renovations, building, furnishing, home improvements and outdoor living, with quality brands and industry experts on hand to answer questions. The 2026 edition features a full programme of seminars with 12+ guest speakers, The Pantry and The Marketplace zones, Family Fun Day activities, and exclusive show specials from participating exhibitors. Whether you are planning a full home build, a kitchen or bathroom upgrade, or simply looking for fresh ideas, the show is designed to connect you directly with specialists. Held Friday 16 to Sunday 18 October 2026, the event is open to both trade visitors and the general public. It is an ideal date to combine a visit to the expo with a weekend in Christchurch, staying close to Addington and the wider city centre.
