ORGANISERS of this year's 20th Newent Onion Fayre say it is going to be a spectacular event – and one not to be missed.

Committee members have arranged for a special, one-off evening event 'Onionfest – the after party' with more information being released in a couple of weeks.

As ever the event, which was re-established in 1995, will see a line-up of music acts from across the county play as well as onion lovers take on the world famous onion eating competition. There will also be a dog show, stalls and fairground rides.

Newent town's street will be packed with thousands of people from 10am on Saturday, September 12.
