Outdoor Expo Christchurch:
Your Gateway to the Ultimate Outdoor Experience!
In 2023, my life took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with a brain tumour. The diagnosis and subsequent surgery changed everything, forcing me to slow down, reflect, and ultimately reshape the direction of my life. Learning to walk again and recalibrating my depth perception became part of my daily challenges, but those struggles also became the foundation of my rehabilitation and personal growth.
Oddly enough, mowing lawns became a form of therapy for me during this journey. It was during one of those reflective moments behind a mower that the idea for the Outdoor Expo was born.
As someone who has always loved the outdoors, I realised how much I missed it;
and how important it is to share that passion with others.
I noticed there wasn’t a single place in the South Island where outdoor enthusiasts could find all their gear, ideas, and inspiration in one spot. That sparked a mission: to create an event that not only brings the outdoor community together but also inspires families to get off the couch, step outside, and embrace the real world.
With over 25 years of business experience and a love for organising events, I channeled my passion into making the Outdoor Expo a reality. Life is too short to stay indoors or disconnected. My goal is simple: to celebrate the outdoors, bring people together, and create experiences that inspire the next generation to explore, adventure, and appreciate the beauty of New Zealand's breath taking countryside.
Join me on this journey—because the outdoors isn’t just a destination; it’s a way of life.
