Twinning Association
The Stansted-Rungis Twinning Association meets regularly throughout the year to organise social events and visits between the communities of Rungis and Stansted Mountfitchet.
The association’s wine and cheese tastings, quiz nights and cultural evenings serve not only as fund raisers for twinning activities but are highlights of the village social calendar in their own right.
Look out for details of the association’s events on their Facebook page.

Events in 2023
Visit to Rungis – June 9-11
This year, it is our turn to visit Rungis and the dates have been set at 9th to 11th June 2023 during their annual festival, la Fête de Rungis. We will need to make our own travel arrangements, and our hope is that we will all be hosted by French families. If you would like to visit Rungis in June, please let us know by the deadline of mid-March. Email twinning@stansted.net or call 07833 089298.
