==Twin town==
Glossop is [[sister city|twinned]] with [[Bad Vilbel]], a [[spa town]] in the [[Wetteraukreis]] district of [[Hesse]], Germany, {{convert|5|mi|0}} north-east of [[Frankfurt]].

In 1985 the Glossop–Bad Vilbel Twinning Association was established. Its aims are:<blockquote>To promote and foster friendship and understanding between the people of Glossop and district and those of Bad Vilbel and district in Germany.

To encourage visits by individuals and groups to and from the linked towns, particularly by children and young people, and the development of personal contacts, and by doing so to broaden the mutual understanding of the cultural, recreational, educational and commercial activities of the linked towns.<br/><small>Source: The Glossop-Bad Vilbel Twinning Association</small></blockquote>

In 1987 formal twinning ceremonies were held in both towns, with a tree being planted in Norfolk Square. The Twinning Association arranges for visitors to stay with families.<ref name=twin>[http://www.glossop.com/twin.htm Glossop/Bad Vilbel Twinning Association] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080616034917/http://www.glossop.com/twin.htm |date=16 June 2008 }}</ref>
