Warminster will welcome 31 visitors from Flers for a town twinning event between Friday 26th April and Sunday 28th April.
Warminster has been twinned with the town of Flers in Normandy, France, since 1973. Visits have been made each year alternately between the two towns and strong friendships have been formed between host families.
The invited visitors will meet at The Old Bell, Market Place, for a breakfast brunch on Saturday 27th April including a traditional display of Morris dancing. Cllr Stacie Allensby, the Deputy Mayor will formally welcome the Flers friends ahead of a weekend of entertainment.

The town twinning event will conclude with a formal dinner and dance until late at the Civic Centre with local band ‘Amjam’ providing the entertainment.
French flags will be flying across Warminster to welcome visitors from Flers. The flag of England recently appeared above shops across the town for St George’s Day on Tuesday 23rd April.
