Twinning




Since October 2000, the Witterings have been twinned with Moutiers-les- Mauxfaits in the Vendée area of France. Over the years, by facilitating regular exchanges between individuals, groups, associations and schools, we have encouraged friendships and a better cultural understanding between the ‘twinned’ villages. We organise fund raising events to welcome and cater for the ‘Moutierrois’ visits as well as ‘Get Togethers’ so that hosts who generously offer accommodation can meet and enjoy each other’s company. A group of Moutierrois was welcome by East and West Wittering residents in May 2024. Fun activities were organised during their stay including a treasure hunt to enable them to improve their knowledge of our village with added shopping time in both villages as well as cultural visits of Arundel and Chichester. The Memorial Hall was the venue chosen where hosts, their Moutierrois guests and friends of the Twinning enjoyed dinner followed by line dancing. You can view some photos of their 2024 visit on the council Facebook page.
