We organise a group visit to a twin town once a year, or Wirksworth hosts a group of visitors from Die, Frankenau and Varallo. These activities are open to all members. We usually stay in family homes, which is a great way to get to know people.
Here are a few things that Twinners say:
"I feel the main things about twinning for me are visiting another country, getting to know people and their way of life, making friends both here and from France/Germany, also being able to show the Wirksworth area to others"
"We hosted for the first time and met 2 lovely ladies from Frankenau. Luckily for us both spoke English"
"Magnificent landscape; rich flowers; history; a tipple or two; lasting friends; instructions on snail hunting"
"I joined twinning last year and have met wonderful people from Die, Frankenau and Wirksworth who are all now good friends"
