Over 45 years ago, six coaches filled with 300 Bridgnorth residents arrived in Thiers, to witness the signing of our first twinning charter in 1978.

Ten years later, Thiers introduced us to their Bavarian twin town, Schrobenhausen, resulting in a ceremony in Bridgnorth in 1992, to complete the triangle.

A festival celebrating this special and historic relationship takes place in one of the three towns each year, organised by The Bridgnorth & District Twinning Association and our partner towns in France and Germany.
