SMALL STEPS, BIG DREAMS

With the onset of spring, we herald in the events season. With new life bursting into blossom, it is only fitting that we also give ourselves a bit of TLC for the fun months ahead. Finally, we can embrace everything on show, get dressed up to the nines and celebrate the sun! There are few places in Ōtautahi that offer a greater range of options to help us get ‘match fit’ than The Crossing, the city’s retail heart. Here, you can enjoy open-air shopping, dining, and socialising. As soon as you descend the lifts, meander across the sky bridge, or stroll in from the street, you’ll be greeted with everything you might need for your well-booked event calendar. Whether it’s the polo, the races, or one of the region’s many events over the coming months, The Crossing is on call for your fresh, seasonal outfits. For a day at the races when a show-stopping gown is needed, Madisons Off Broadway is there to make you the envy of other punters. Don’t forget the fascinator or hat! Universally-loved brands like Trenery, Workshop, and Witchery have you sorted for classic quality staples and Ruby, Juliette Hogan, and Nicole Rebstock can also have you looking your best for a night out on The Terrace. Don’t fret, blokes. You’re certainly not forgotten. Barkers and Rodd and Gunn will have you polo-ready, right down to accessories – ascots and shoes included. Thanks to all of the exciting dining options, you can make a day of it at The Crossing. Caffeinate and re-energise at Coffee Culture with a brew or stop for lunch at Zeeks for a touch of delicious Mediterranean fare. Round off your day by dining at Hali with friends – one of the best ‘ocean-inspired’ restaurants in the city is housed upstairs. You’re on a winning streak when you’re shopping at The Crossing.
