Discover Feilding: A blend of heritage and modernity

As a resident of Feilding, I can tell you that this charming rural town in the Manawatū-Whanganui region of New Zealand offers a unique blend of heritage, community spirit, and modern amenities. Known for its picturesque streets, friendly atmosphere, and vibrant local culture, Feilding is a perfect place to live for those seeking a peaceful yet engaging lifestyle.

A Glimpse into History

Feilding boasts a rich history, with its roots dating back to the late 19th century. Named after Colonel William Feilding, the town was part of a settlement scheme initiated by the Emigrants and Colonists Aid Corporation. As I walk through town, I love exploring the well-preserved Edwardian architecture and historical sites that speak to our past.

Award-Winning Town

Our town is renowned for its consistent wins in the New Zealand Most Beautiful Town awards. The meticulously maintained flower gardens, clean streets, and community pride contribute to this accolade. It’s no surprise that Feilding’s dedication to preserving its beauty and heritage makes it such a delightful place to call home.

Community and Culture

Feilding is a hub of community activities and cultural events. The weekly farmers’ market, held every Friday in the town square, is one of my favorite activities. It offers fresh local produce, artisanal goods, and a chance to connect with the friendly locals. We also host various events throughout the year, including the Feilding Craft Market and the annual Christmas Carnival.

Agricultural Heartland

Surrounded by fertile farmland, Feilding is at the heart of New Zealand’s agricultural industry. The iconic Feilding Saleyards, one of the largest stockyards in the Southern Hemisphere, are a staple of our community. Experiencing the bustling atmosphere of livestock sales and gaining insights into our agricultural heritage is something I cherish.

Modern Amenities and Services

Despite its rural charm, Feilding offers modern amenities and services that cater to all needs. Our town features excellent schools, healthcare facilities, and a variety of shops and restaurants. The Feilding Public Library and the Coach House Museum provide cultural enrichment and educational opportunities for residents and visitors alike.

Outdoor Recreation

Nature enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy in and around Feilding. We are close to several parks and reserves, offering opportunities for hiking, biking, and picnicking. The nearby Manawatū River and its scenic trails provide a perfect setting for outdoor activities and leisurely strolls.

A Connected Community

Feilding’s strong sense of community is evident in its numerous clubs, organizations, and volunteer groups. We take pride in our town and actively participate in initiatives that enhance the quality of life. This spirit of camaraderie and mutual support makes Feilding a welcoming place for newcomers.
