Wymondham currently has no twin town. Links were developed in the 1990s with [[Votice]] and local dignitaries from the [[Czech Republic]] visited Wymondham. A plaque on the former [[Wymondham Town Hall]] in Middleton Street commemorates the links between the two. (The new Town Hall building is located at nearby Ketts Park).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.wymondhamtowncouncil.org/|title=The Town Council|publisher= Wymondham Town Council|access-date=26 April 2024}}</ref>
