The alleged Christchurch gunman has abandoned his fight to move his trial out of the city where the massacre happened.

Brenton Tarrant appeared in the High Court at Christchurch this morning where he was set to argue for a move in venue, taking his trial to another city in New Zealand.

The trial is set for June next year and the accused has now abandoned his application for a transfer.

Tarrant has pleaded not guilty to murdering 51 people during the attacks at two city mosques on March 15.
