Although not officially twinned, Carterton Oxfordshire and Carterton New Zealand have developed strong links of friendship. Carterton New Zealand is situated some 57 miles north-east of the country’s capital of Wellington and is the centre of a thriving farming district. Every year the town holds a daffodil carnival which attracts many visitors from the surrounding areas. The two towns are in regular contact and the Town Mayor is delighted to be able to offer hospitality to visitors from the other side of the world.

In 2007, Carterton New Zealand celebrated the 150th Anniversary of its founding, and three Carterton Town Councillors visited New Zealand and joined in the celebrations. They delivered a gift from the residents of Carterton Oxfordshire and presented a Bond of Friendship marking the special relationship between the two towns.
