Scopwick Twinning Association

On 30th April 1994 Scopwick and Kirkby Green were officially twinned with the French village of Sceaux-sur-Huisne.

The exchange visits, alternating between France and England each year, have become a popular annual event for many local families.

SCEAUX-SUR-HUISNE Is a small picturesque village situated near Le Mans in the Sarthe region of France. It has two restaurants, a primary school, a library, a recently renovated Town Hall and a 12th Century Church. The village dates back to Roman times, known as a staging post and relaxation place. The remains of thermal baths and a well-preserved washhouse can still be seen.

What is twinning all about?

It creates opportunities for you and your family to make new friends here and in your twin village.
It helps to develop community spirit in your own village and provide a wider framework for sporting, cultural and social activities.

It gives you a second community where you are always welcome and 'at home'.
Funds for activities are raised through voluntary efforts in the village with at least three major fund-raising events held per annum. This year we have a Safari Supper, Cuban Band and wine tasting evening. Other social events, such as barbeques and bike rides, provide family fun, entertainment for everyone and a chance to continue the spirit of Twinning throughout the year.
