The 48 Hours Ōtautahi Christchurch Heats Watch Party!

Anybody is very welcome to attend any and all of the sessions! No tickets/reservations required, just turn up. We have 100 seats, and historically we only get about half full so we'll be fine to receive you all. There's no cost to attend.

The bar will be open and hot snacks (from Craft Embassy's kitchen) are available. The theatre is open to all ages, just under-18s won't be able to purchase alcohol at the bar.
