Between 2-7 October 2024 a group of Wirksworth Twinners went to visit our twin town Frankenau in Germany.

Our partners in Varallo in Italy mark Shrove Tuesday with a soup served to the whole town so we have adopted this tradition and once again we offered soup at the Saturday market (a little after Shrove Tuesday) on 2 March 2024.

During the Covid lockdown, Wirksworth twinning members joined with their twin towns online to celebrate Spring's arrival. You can re-live this fantastic event by viewing the four videos.

In January 2021 we teamed up with partners in Die (France) Frankenau (Germany) and Varallo (Italy) to share entertainment online. We recorded the acts and they can be watched in 4 X 15 minute sections.

We were delighted to host over 70 visitors from Frankenau, Die and Varallo over a weekend which coincided with the "Wirksworth Hidden Gardens and Courtyards" event.
