Town twinning offers numerous benefits by fostering cultural exchange, economic collaboration, and international friendship. These partnerships encourage communities to share knowledge, traditions, and experiences, leading to greater mutual understanding and respect between different cultures. By engaging in student exchanges, arts and cultural programs, and joint events, twinned towns can strengthen international ties and promote tolerance, making the world a more interconnected and harmonious place.


Bicester is proud to be twinned with three charming European towns and communes:

Neunkirchen-Seelscheid – a municipality in the Rhein-Sieg District of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia in western Germany.

Essarts-en-Bocage – a commune in the Vendée Department in the Pays de la Loire region of western France.

Czernichów – a commune in Żywiec County of the Silesian Voivodeship in southwestern Poland.


Our twinning association would be delighted to welcome new members interested in supporting us and taking part in our cultural exchanges. If you are an individual, company or organisation who would like to become involved, we would love to hear from you. Please feel free to email us from our contact page.
