Biggleswade has a twin town - Erlensee near Frankfurt in Germany.
Biggleswade is twinned with Erlensee near Frankfurt in Germany and has been for 15 years.
A small group of volunteers meet regularly to plan activities including a social event every month.
Recent events have included a Christmas meal in a Biggleswade Pub and attendance at a lovely Candlelit Classical concert in St Andrew’s Church.

The Twinning Charter was signed in Biggleswade Market Square during an official visit over the May 2000 Bank Holiday weekend. A second signing ceremony took place in Erlensee over the August 2000 Bank Holiday weekend. A coach full of people from Biggleswade attended.
In both towns much has been done to recognise the twinning. All approaches to Biggleswade have signs announcing it and a tree was planted to commemorate it. In Erlensee they have named a street Biggleswade Strasse and Biggleswade has Erlensee Way.
