Horsham Twinning Association is a volunteer organisation which aims to foster relations between Horsham and its twin towns and to bring to life the commitments made in the town's Twinning Charters.

Although we are associated with the Horsham District Council (The Chairman of the Council is automatically our President), we are funded by subscriptions and donations from our members and not by the taxpayer.

The map to the left shows the locations of our twin towns within Europe. Lage is almost directly east of Horsham and Saint Maixent L'École is almost directly south.

With over 70 members, the Association organises visits between Horsham, Lage and Saint-Maixent L'École on an approximately annual basis. Every second year we aim to visit Lage and Saint-Maixent and in the intervening years to welcome visits from the two towns. As much as possible, we host visitors in our own homes and stay in their homes when we pay our return visit. In this way many deep and lasting friendships have arisen.

We encourage other exchanges, such as between schools, and are happy, if asked, to put Horsham clubs and organisations in contact with their equivalents in Lage and Saint-Maixent.

In addition we arrange social activities for our members including walks and visits locally. Every year we organise a Christmas Carol Concert along with the French and German Clubs. Led by Horsham Pleasure Singers, we sing English, French and German carols.
