Tamworth is a market town in Staffordshire England, located 14 miles (23 km) north-east of Birmingham city centre and 103 miles (166 km) north-west of  London. Tamworth takes its name from the River Tame which flows through it, as does the River Anker. At the 2001 census the town had a population of 71,650. Tamworth is the second largest settlement in Staffordshire.

Tamworth is the home of the historic Tamworth Castle and Moat House, and has a non-league football team Tamworth FC. The Snowdome, the UK's first full-sized real-snow indoor ski-slope, is located in Tamworth, and only a short distance away is Drayton Manor Theme Park. The town's main industries include logistics, engineering, clothing, brick, tile and paper manufacture. It was also home to the Reliant car company, which produced the famous three wheeled Robin model and the Scimitar sports car for several decades.

Tamworth is proud to be twinned with Bad Laasphe (Germany) and Vaujours (France)
