BeThere.co.nz is a promotional tool for events held in the Christchurch/Canterbury regions. It is not to be used as a 'noticeboard’, but rather a tool to show the vibrancy of the city. If your event does not meet the criteria listed below it may not be included on the BeThere Website.

We're sorry that if your event does not meet the criteria below, BeThere is unable to promote it. If you want to list details of your group or an ongoing course or programme, the CINCH directory may be able to help. CINCH is unable to list events.

 

**BeThere staff reserve the right to use their discretion when deciding to list an event on the site and the criteria listed below is just a guide**

 

PLEASE NOTE: If your event is to be held on public land (roadways, parks, reserves) you will be required to gain approval for your event from Christchurch City Council  prior to your event being advertised on BeThere.co.nz
