Regional Wrap: Foxton

Foxton's is a small town in the Horowhenua known for its large sandy beach, bustling holiday park, scenic cycling paths and the locally-loved soft drink, Foxton Fizz. But there's more to this charming town than meets the eye. Nestled on the Kapiti Coast, Foxton is a hidden gem brimming with arts, culture, and heritage. Maggie Tweedie dialled up local resident and co-chairperson of the Foxton Dutch Connection Centre, Arjan Van Der Boon who has called Foxton home for many years and is passionate about preserving and sharing the town's lesser-known cultural history. Through the Dutch Connection Centre, he and other community members celebrate the historic ties Foxton shares with the Netherlands-roots that stretch back to the Dutch settlers who arrived in the region during the late 19th century.
