Westend Event and Function Venue

A Message to Christchurch!
After 10 incredible years, we are devastated to share that Mega Air and Westend have now ceased trading.
This wasn’t an outcome we ever wanted. We did everything we could to keep going and to mitigate the challenges we’ve been facing, but ultimately this situation has been out of our control.
Over the past decade, it has been an absolute privilege to be part of the Christchurch and Canterbury community. We’ve loved being a place where people could come together for birthdays, events, laughs, and memories.
To every customer who walked through our doors, and every staff member who was part of the journey thank you. You made this what it was.
We are incredibly proud of what we built, and we truly hope that everyone who visited us had a great experience.
This has been a 10-year journey we will always be grateful for.
Goodbye, Christchurch — and thank you for everything.
— The Mega Air & Westend Team 💔
