What's on in Riccarton

Riccarton sits quietly in the shadow of the city but has plenty to offer without needing a parade. It is the kind of place where you might stumble upon a market stall or catch a film at a local cinema on a rainy afternoon. The air smells of damp grass and fresh bread, which is about as good as it gets for a Friday evening walk. There are no crowds pushing you along the pavement here, just a steady stream of people enjoying their own little plans. You can find a community hall hosting talks or a sports club running a weekend match if you happen to be passing by. Near Here keeps an eye on what is going on so you do not have to guess where to go next.
