Celebration is core to our kaupapa - it's so important that we get the chance to celebrate ourselves, our lives, and our community.
Qtopia runs events throughout the year in Ōtautahi Christchurch and Waitaha Canterbury. Join us for our regular events on the last Saturday of each month, or for some special opportunities to celebrate, including our popular Pride Ball, alongside markets, marches, panels, learning opportunities, and more.
Keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram for the most up-to-date information about our events.

Social Groups
Our Social Groups, which have been running for over 15 years, are currently on hold as we carry out an essential review. After many years creating this space for our community, it’s time to give this service the attention and care it deserves to ensure it is safe, effective, and meets the needs of our community. While we don’t have a timeline yet, we’re committed to relaunching this service.
We’re working on making these improvements, by focusing on building and training our team, improving our policies and processes, and finding fit-for-purpose venues to support our new and improved service.
We kindly ask for your patience. We’re looking forward to welcoming you all back once we’re ready, stronger and better than ever.
