Stalybridge has been twinned with Armentières since 1955. In 2005, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the link.

Now we have our very own website which can be viewed by clicking on the logo adjacent or at http://www.stalybridge-armentieres.org.uk

Over the years, many different groups from Stalybridge have exchanged visits with groups from Armentières and many friendships have been formed.

Armentières is situated 60 miles from Calais, 10 miles from Lille and just under 1 mile from Belgium. The town of Ypres is 10 miles away.

Armentières is a lively and thriving town with Flemish-style architecture, beautiful floral decoration, a large outdoor leisure park with water sports, children’s activities and a nature reserve, busy markets and a cultural centre offering a wide range of exhibitions and entertainment.
