Instagram in Christchurch: Riverside Market, New Regent Street and the Port Hills
Christchurch’s central city has been rebuilt since the earthquakes, and new venues keep opening. Riverside Market is a busy food hall beside the Avon River, New Regent Street’s pastel shopfronts and heritage tram are favourite shots, and laneways around High Street and Oxford Terrace beside the river are full of bars and small restaurants. Locals like to show off what the city has become.
Hagley Park and the Botanic Gardens are green in spring and gold in autumn, and the beaches at Sumner and New Brighton have their own cafés and surf schools.
The Port Hills and Christchurch Adventure Park bring mountain biking and walking content, and Akaroa’s harbour is a popular day trip.
Seasons are clear here: frosty winters with snow on the Southern Alps and nearby ski fields, warm, dry summers with nor’west winds, and long spring evenings. Te Pae convention centre brings conference visitors into the central city through the year.
We plan Reels around openings, seasons and events, showing the dish, product or experience in the first seconds. Carousels such as “new places to try in the central city” are saved by locals, and short guides to Akaroa or the Port Hills help visitor businesses. Captions are in New Zealand English, and te reo Māori is used respectfully and checked by your team. Location tags for Riverside, New Regent Street, Sumner or Riccarton help people nearby. Collaborations with other local makers and venues broaden reach. Each month you see saves, shares, profile visits and booking taps.
- Rebuild-era venue Reels. Riverside Market, New Regent Street and the laneways.
- Season content. Spring blossom, autumn colour, ski season and summer evenings.
- Outdoor and adventure. Port Hills riding, beaches and Akaroa trips.
- Local collaborations. Partner posts with makers and neighbouring venues.
Example first month on Instagram
- Week 1: profile, bio and booking-link set-up.
- Week 2: venue or product Reels.
- Week 3: seasonal or event content.
- Week 4: a report on saves, shares and booking taps.
Where in Christchurch to point the camera
Location tags and filming spots matter more than “Christchurch” as a hashtag:
| Area | Instagram use |
|---|---|
| Central City | Reels filmed on location with the Central City location tag |
| Riccarton | Carousel guides for people who live or work in Riccarton |
| Addington | Story offers for customers near Addington |
| Sydenham | Collaboration posts with neighbours and venues in Sydenham |
The Christchurch market in brief
Professional, scientific and technical services make the largest contribution to Christchurch's economy, followed by healthcare and manufacturing; the city is New Zealand's second-largest manufacturing centre. Outdoor brands such as Macpac and Kathmandu were founded here, the Port of Lyttelton serves Canterbury, and Christchurch is one of five Antarctic gateway cities. The University of Canterbury and Lincoln University add a large student population.
Local habits we build into the plan:
- Hospitality and retail in the rebuilt central city: new-venue and laneway content.
- Outdoor, tourism and adventure businesses: gateway-to-the-South-Island content for visitors.
- Manufacturing, agritech and engineering firms: LinkedIn content for buyers and hiring.
