DID you know Ledbury is twinned with the Swedish town Strömstad?

The two towns have a long and warm association which has been going strong for many years.

The Ledbury and Strömstad Twinning Association stages various events throughout  the year and always take part in community events such as the carnival.

There is a Swedish saying - Fika - which means meeting up with friends for a coffee and a chat.

The Twinning Association is staging a Fika In Ledbury to enable towns folk to learn more about their Swedish counterparts in the lovely setting of the Talbot Hotel.

It is a great opportunity to find out more about the Swedish town and life over in Sweden.

You will be able to ask as many questions as you like from representatives of the twinning association.
