Faringdon Twinning offers you bienvenue!

David Crawley, chairman of Faringdon Twinning, invites everybody to a Welcome to Twinning evening on Friday 6th March 2026, and enjoy another year of amitié.

Faringdon Twinning celebrated its 35th anniversary last year, but 2026 is already shaping up to be another joyful year of friendship, culture and connection with Le Mêle-sur-Sarthe in Normandy.

On Friday 13th February 2026, there’s the ever-popular French film night; tickets are available in advance at Faringdon Information Centre (£4pp, £3 u18s, family ticket £10), or pay just £1 more on the night.

Everyone is invited to the informal Welcome to Twinning evening, from 7pm until 9pm on Friday 6th March 2026, in the Barbour Rooms.

Enjoy a free glass of wine and nibbles, and find out more about what Twinning is all about.

May brings a much-anticipated visit from French friends, who will stay in Faringdon Thursday 7th to Sunday 10th May, with plenty of socialising, good food and shared celebrations planned.

In July, the much-loved Youth Exchange returns, offering local children aged 12–16 the chance to experience French family life, make new friends and enjoy a packed programme of activities – all for just £125, including travel, food and trips.

The highlight of the year is the visit to Le Mêle-sur-Sarthe, Thursday 27th to Sunday 30th August, when members travel by coach and ferry to stay with welcoming host families. It’s a weekend filled with laughter, shared meals and genuine friendship, with costs at about £170 per adult.
