Newent is home to the now world famous, Onion Fayre. Last year more than 15,000 people flocked to the streets of Newent in order to visit the hugely popular fayre. Which, now has become known for its Onion Eating competition. The onion fayre originated from when local farmers (from which many came from the Vale of Evesham) sold their onions to local Foresters.

GO APE IN THE FOREST OF DEAN> A HIGH WIRE BLAST FOR KIDS ABD ADULTS ALIKE

What is Go Ape?

It’s not in the dictionary, but if it was, Go Ape would be described as a ‘high-wire forest adventure’.

That means we build giant obstacle courses up in the trees using ladders, walkways, bridges and tunnels made of wood, rope and super-strong wire, and top it all off with the country’s best zip lines (including the longest at 426 metres – check it out on You Tube).

We then kit people out with harnesses, pulleys and karabiners, give them a 30 minute safety briefing and training and let them loose into the forest canopy, free to swing through the trees. Of course, instructors are always on hand, regularly patrolling the forests (not in monkey suits unfortunately!)

The result is spectacular. The Go Ape experience gets the adrenalin pumping, gets people out of their comfort zones and above all (no pun intended), it’s just great fun.



Newent

Newent is certainly one of the most attractive towns in the Forest of Dean area.

It is a thriving, unspoilt market town with a wide range of attractions for the shopper and visitor. Many of the buildings date from the 13th century, and centrepiece of the town is the Old Market Hall, which was built in 1668.

The area around Newent has long been known for its wild daffoldils which grow naturally in the woods and meadows around the town. Within living memory, they grew in such profusion that school children picked flowers to be sent to hospitals as far away as London. The Great Western railway used to put on special trains to Newent for people to come and pick the daffodils!
Nowadays, being more conservation minded, we come to look at their beauty, and picking of the flowers is not encouraged. Church Street, Newent, showing some of the fine old buildings, and the George Hotel, (the red brick building) built in 1649.
