Venables Family Convention – 2023
The 2023 Venables Family Convention marked the grand return of this international event, eagerly awaited since 2018 and postponed due to the pandemic. For four days, the village welcomed families from around the world for meetings, workshops, heritage tours, exhibitions and festive evenings. Emotion was at the heart of this 8th edition, punctuated by official speeches, historic donations, intergenerational activities and the warm welcome of the Venables community.
Middlewich-Venables Cultural Relations
The exchanges between Middlewich and Venables began with a school exchange in the 1990s, creating lasting bonds between families, teachers and pupils. Over the years, trips, official receptions and Norman festivals have strengthened this relationship based on their shared history linked to Gilbert de Venables. In 2011, a Friendship Charter formalised this rapprochement, which was continued during the Venables World Family Conventions.
