Click to follow us!
 To promote and foster international friendship and understanding

  • To organise supporting social and fundraising activities
Hexham’s links with its two twin towns, Metzingen and Noyon, have been established for over 30 years and are still going strong.  Hexham’s twinning credentials go back even further, with links established with Neviges in Germany from 1955 to 1968, with St. Lunaire in France from 1968 to 1990 and with Brande in Denmark from 1989 to 1993.

The only language you need to join us is that of international friendship - come and be part of town twinning!
