What’s On

Maleficent’s Park of Tricks & Treats

Christchurch doesn’t have much in the way of proper trick-or-treating. No knocking on strangers’ doors, no guessing who’s behind the mask handing out the lollies. Just one park, gates well and truly guarded, where the only thing let loose is the fun.

Paranormal Investigation

Every investigation has been different. Some evenings have been gentle and thought-provoking, while others, very playful, and have produced fascinating moments that have left even experienced investigators asking questions. Thats the beauty of these nights - you never know what the evening will bring.

Become a Vendor at the Ferrymead Night Market!

The Ferrymead Night Market is held on the first Saturday of each month from 4 PM to 8 PM, excluding January, April, June, July, and August. The market features a variety of food and craft stalls, beer and cider, live music, and heritage attractions. Please note that trains and trams operate during the event for an additional fee, and display buildings are open for visitors. Dogs are welcome, provided they are on a leash.

If you're interested in becoming a vendor at our Night Market, we invite you to apply by completing the application form available on our website. Please be aware that submitting an application registers your interest but does not guarantee a stall space, as we receive many applications but have limited availability.

Terms and Conditions:

  1. Application Process: By completing the Google Form, you are requesting to book a stall at the Ferrymead Night Market.

  2. Confirmation and Payment: Upon receiving your form, we will contact you to confirm space availability for your specified date and send an invoice. Your site is not confirmed until we receive payment of your invoice.

  3. Cancellation Policy: Please notify us prior to the Night Market if you are unable to attend to receive a refund or transfer of funds to a later market. Failure to advise us before the day of the market will still incur the normal vendor fee.

  4. Power and Lighting: Generally, we do not provide power, so this will need to be supplied by you. Please advise if you require power for a fee of $20.00. During late autumn and early spring, when it gets dark before 8 PM, we will have light towers, but this may not provide sufficient light for your space, so you will need to provide battery-powered or solar-powered lighting.

For more information please contact us.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Ferrymead Night Market community!
