Iconic Christchurch attractions business Punting on the Avon is offering live musical performances on the Avon River this November.
The two Pop-Up Punt Performances will take place at 6.15pm and 7.15pm on Friday, November 19, and will include a 40-minute punt ride through the Christchurch Botanic Gardens with an accompanying 20-minute musical set performed live on board a punt by Pop-Up Globe and New Zealand Opera performer John Bayne.
The event is the second live performance event that Punting on the Avon have offered and follows a similar performance featuring Bayne in October which was well received, with feedback from guests including it was “a magical experience” and that “Punting in itself is special, but as the sunset, with the blossom and the singing – it was truly moving.”
With live performance opportunities limited due to COVID-19 restrictions, Punting on the Avon is proud to be offering socially-distanced outdoor performances to support the local arts community. The company aims to make such performances a regular occurrence.
Bookings are essential for the event, and tickets are available via the Christchurch Attractions website.
