In 2002, Twyford hosted one of the largest events in the region for HM Queen's Golden Jubilee.

It consisted of a traditional street party before moving to an evening entertainment in two large marquees at the Recreation Ground.

The Sunday was a family funday with tug of war event and firework finale.

Again in 2003, Twyford continued the theme with an event to mark the 50th anniversary of the Queen's coronation.

There have also been sightings in the village of a large cat such as "panther" which apparently roams the area.
