In June 2023 forty three of our members took our first exchange visit to Honfleur after the COVID restrictions were lifted. As the Twinned Towns of Sandwich and Honfleur exchanged, with some new friends and existing friends, we enjoyed the Saturday Market, the Harbour and many local sites. During this exchange visit we also performed as a group singing ‘Hoping Down in Kent’, ‘Beside the Seaside’ and ‘What do you do with a Drunken sailor’, strengthening the link with Honfleur, which continues to see ‘FURTHERING FRIENDSHIP, FUN AND CULTURAL TIES’
Members of the Sandwich and Honfleur Twinning going back in time to represent an audience at the filming at the Empire of a short film by Richard Hetherington and Terry Wilson. Back in time to the reopening of the Empire in the late 90s after a long period of mixed use and abandonment.
