Hurst Green Twinning

You can contact the twinning association by email at hurstgreentwinning@gmail.com or by calling 07496 390069. We will also be hosting a social event of some kind on the weekend of 26th August, and would love to see any local residents who would like to attend. Further details will follow in future issues of the Hurst!

Meanwhile we are looking ahead to next year already, which will be the 40th anniversary of the twinning. We have already been invited to Germany and would like to hear from people who would be interested in coming too.

Hurst Green Twinning

Association are excited to announce that in August this year we will be hosting a visit from our twinned village of Ellerhoop.

As many Hurst Greeners will be aware, there has been a long and very successful relationship between Hurst Green, and Ellerhoop, in Schleswig-Holstein, northern Germany, for almost 40 years. There was a hiatus for the last 3 years, caused by Covid and the impact on international travel. However we are now happy to report that our friends from Germany will arrive in the UK on Thursday 24/08/23 for a 4 day visit. We have a full and exciting itinerary planned including visits to London, Canterbury, a steam railway and of course the English seaside in summer. We anticipate the visiting group to number about 20, and we have already found host families for many of them. But if you are interested in hosting or being involved in any of the activities planned then we would love to hear from you.

Ellerhoop is a lovely village, with beautiful surrounds and close to the exciting cosmopolitan city of Hamburg. I have been involved in several previous visits and it is always a fantastic break with friendly hosts who take great pride in showcasing their area. Life-long friendships are made and, especially in these uncertain times, it is important to celebrate the things which connect us, even across international borders. If you would like to be involved, contact us!
