Established in 1856, The Christchurch Club was founded as a gentlemen’s house in the city of Christchurch.

Membership is through introduction by a member of at least five years standing, supported by two additional members.

Dress Guidelines

A tidy standard of dress, preferably business style attire is expected within the Clubhouse. The preferred minimum Tuesday to Saturday standard attire for men is defined as a jacket, chinos/dark dress denim trousers, and a button-fronted long sleeved shirt. The wearing of jackets may be relaxed in hot weather. A comparable standard for women does not require a jacket to be worn. House guests may dress other than indicated above, when going directly to and from the bedroom accommodation.

A generally higher standard of dress is expected after 7.00 pm, (to include a tie), but conversely a more relaxed standard of dress is accepted throughout the Clubhouse at weekends.

The Christchurch Club is a private social Club, which guarantees privacy in a ‘home away from home’ environment.

Currently there are over 100 Clubs throughout the World, where reciprocal arrangements are in place, and members are able to use their facilities as their own.
