Christchurch is known for its natural beauty and soon it will be synonymous with Candlelight concerts, too. You can enjoy some of your favourite artists and tunes, relax and let the power of music compel you in a stunning venue.
Typically, there are two Candlelight concerts every evening, an early and a later session, which gives audiences ample choice and opportunity to experience music by Candlelight the way they would like to. It also gives audiences plenty of time to go out for dinner before or after and make the night more of a memorable experience.
With tickets for as little as $30 depending on the concert, Candlelight is a night out that almost everybody will enjoy. Those that don’t, aren’t big fans of music or candles.
Note: For the safety of performers and the audience, all of the candlelight will be provided through flameless candles.
