Christchurch Netherlands Society Cultural Center

There is a long history of migration from the Netherlands to Aotearoa/New Zealand and Christchurch.
Dutch people live all over the country and although we’ve all found our own place in New Zealand society, there are still Dutch things we love to do.

In 1965 the Netherlands Society Christchurch was founded. This was in response to the large migration of people from the Netherlands in the
1950’s. It was formed so that the migrants had a place to share experiences and socialise with people of a similar background. Several affiliated clubs emerged; card clubs, folk dancing, drama and a carnaval club, tramping, walking and petanque to name a few.

Now there is also a very successful social club; The Youth of Yesterday, who meet on a Friday morning.
