Sumner is a coastal seaside suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand and was surveyed and named in 1849 in honour of John Bird Sumner, the then newly appointed Archbishop of Canterbury and president of the Canterbury Association. Christchurch's popular beach location is only a 20 minute drive from the city centre - yet with soft sand, great surf and swim beach, rocks to climb, promenade, cafés and ice creams, you'll feel like you're really out of town! If you're keen to have a go at surfing or just want to play on a bodyboard, head towards the Clock Tower and Scarborough Beach. On most days of summer you'll find surf or bodyboard hire, and surf lessons advertised on the promenade. They offer kids' or adults' classes, as well as private lessons.

Once completed, the public will be invited to explore the grounds, to pin thoughts and mementos to it, reflect, grieve, and find joy.

Chapman's Homer,Christchurch NZ.

The Bull is back in Christchurch This bull sculpture was part of an art exhibition that was on last year. The sculpture captivated the people of Christchurch and it is now seen as a symbol of the city’s grit, determination and strength. The Christchurch Art Gallery Trust is now running a fund-raising campaign to buy the bull for Christchurch. I think this is a fabulous idea and look forward to the campaign being successful and the bull making its permanent home the Christchurch Art Gallery. The bull is by New Zealand artist Michael Parekowhai and is called Chapman’s Homer. The Bull is back in Christchurch This bull sculpture was part of an art exhibition that was on last year.

“Nucleus: the positively charged centre of an atom. Christchurch was my place of study and remains the centre of my practice. So this title and the sculpture have a special significance for me. The artwork is a celebration of place. The simple singular form made of four equal parts are a reflection of Christchurch, with its well planned and laid out built environment. All the parts are connected and necessary for the whole to function. The plinth, with its exposed structure and beauty through function is a celebration of Christchurch’s engineering and industrial base.”. “Nucleus: the positively charged centre of an atom.

"New Brighton Pier&#x22

The suburb is divided into three sections spread along the southern coast of Pegasus Bay: North New Brighton; New Brighton; and South New Brighton, which lies at the northern end of a narrow peninsula between the bay and the Avon Heathcote Estuary. A 300 metres (980 ft) pier was built here in the 1990s, and opened on November 1997. New Brighton was originally a distinct coastal village, separated from the then outer suburbs of Christchurch by the swampy areas adjoining the Avon River. However, urban expansion, land reclamation and drainage have led to Brighton being swallowed by Christchurch city.
