For 12 weeks in the summer of 2014-2015 Christchurch’s streets, parks and open spaces (of which we have many!) will be taken over by some unusual visitors… 2.5 metre high giraffes! Not only bringing colour and humour to the city, the individually decorated giraffe sculptures will also raise money for local charities working in the city. The charities who will receive funds raised from the Christch
urch Stands Tall auction in February 2015 are now official. We are very proud to be supporting Child Cancer, Life Education Trust, Gap Filler and Life in Vacant Spaces. All exceptional charities doing significant good in the city. Engage local professional artists, community groups and schools and celebrate the creativity of Christchurch.
2. Attract regional and national visitors to the city centre and surrounding areas through marketing and public relations campaigns.
3. Encourage local residents to become a “tourist in their own city”.
4. Increase awareness, footfall and ultimately visitor spend in the city.
5. Be Christchruch’s newest and most wide reaching event of the summer.
