Newbury Twin Towns

Newbury Twin Town Association

The Newbury Twin Town association

The association exists to promote educational, cultural and social exchange between each of our six twin towns. We are proud to have the Newbury Town Mayor as our Patron who serves in this role throughout their year of office.

A committee of hard working members ensure an interesting programme of events throughout each year.  Many members have a second language but most don’t and it’s surprisingly easy to communicate if you try.

Membership is open to all families or individuals.  We also have a Youth for Europe project, which ensures that interested young people aged 16 to 25 can participate in trips abroad.

Many long lasting friendships evolve and continue through twinning and it’s hard to describe just how much goodwill exists between our continental cousins until you have sat, talked, listened, eaten and enjoyed one another’s company.
