Extra Information: town twinning objectives
The Twinning Association is funded by the Vale of Glamorgan Council. The food and drink festival is viewed by the council as an opportunity to advance its town-twinning objectives.
In 2009 the Council encouraged the formation of a voluntary town-twinning association to supplement the more official links between towns already in place.
The Twinning Association was inaugurated on 31 March 2010 with objectives including: the aim to promote links between individuals and groups, to raise the profile for twinning exchanges and to provide a point of contact for those interested in twinning. This is the second year the Twinning Association has been involved in the Cowbridge food and drink festival.
In addition to selling local produce, acts from the towns, including a pop-group, circus students and a glass-blowing artist, will perform.

Cowbridge’s twin towns in Germany, Belgium and France will showcase their local cuisine at stalls in the Cowbridge food and drink festival
Fécamp in France will be selling a selection of cheeses and Rheinfelden in Germany will have Black Forest Hams and sausages. For those with a sweet tooth, Mouscron in Belgium will have a stall offering chocolates and freshly-made waffles.
The event, run by the Vale of Glamorgan Twinning Association, aims to display the friendships formed between each town and establish contact between groups of people with similar interests.
Rodney Care, Chairman of the Twinning Association, said that forging friendships, “Cannot be achieved by people wearing gold chains and making speeches. It needs participation by ordinary people who do it for fun!”
