Lewes Twinning Association

Lewes, the County Town of Sussex, is twinned with Blois in the Loire, France and Waldshut-Tiengen in the Black Forest, Germany.

Twinning in Lewes is quite unique in that it is an independent association as opposed to a civic twinning association.

Our Twinning dates back to school exchanges which started back in 1947. Our aim’s remain the same as they always have which is to promote contact and friendship with people from both Lewes's twin towns.

We like to think that in spite of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union we have much to offer in friendship and unity between individuals and like-minded organisations from our three Towns. We aim to encourage young and old to participate in visits to our twin towns of Blois and Waldshut-Tiengen to make friends and to enjoy the communal spirit of twinning. Likewise, we also encourage and welcome visits by individuals and groups from our twin towns to our town of Lewes.
