The Zonta Club of Christchurch-Canterbury are thrilled to announce their major fundraiser for 2024 – the Winter Christmas Trail on Sunday 28th July 2024.

Tickets can be purchased from here or at The Christmas Hut, 39 Sawyers Arms Road

The charities we are supporting in 2024 are the Canterbury Charity Hospital which provides free medical, surgical and dental services for the people of Canterbury and the West Coast and our national and international projects.

The needs are great and we are stepping up to help make a better world for the women and girls in our community. We invite you to join our Winter Christmas Trail which will raise funds for these charities.

The Winter Christmas Trail is a self drive tour of 8 – 10 houses within Christchurch city. There are a variety of homes, a warehouse and villas. The properties are all stunningly decorated for Christmas and showcase many unique features. Look out for the real antique winter sleigh, stunning floral displays and decorating demonstrations, cosy fires, candles and Christmas cooking, and maybe Santa Claus will drop in for the day. The day is not suitable for children under 15 years old.
