Twinning Association

Hailsham is twinned with Gournay-en-Bray, a small town in Normandy, France. Twinning has been in existence for many years and the idea of it is to foster better relations and gain knowledge and understanding of different cultures. We enjoy their food and wine, and many of us spend our holidays there but there is often hostility towards France, despite it being our nearest neighbour.

The Twinning Charter was signed in Hailsham in October 2000 and in Gournay-en-Bray in February 2001. Whilst the populations of the towns differ considerably (Hailsham 20,500 - Gournay 5,000), the facilities in both towns are very similar. Each is a market town, has a recognisable town square/centre, a refurbished cinema, a variety of shops, two industrial areas and a leisure centre.

A number of cultural visits in both directions take place each year.

If you are interested in becoming a member of the Hailsham & District Twinning Association or would like more information please contact the Town Council at Inglenook, Market Street or telephone 01323 841702.
