Saturday June 27th - Sunday 5th July 2009

This fair was originally held on the feast day of the saint, June 16th, but is now on the 27th day of that month. In recent times Ffair Gurig has been celebrated with a week long range of local activities within the town of Newport. It forms a significant part of the town's heritage and tradition. Activities can vary from year to year but in recent years the main features are a street market, a quiz night, the annual Ysgol Bro Ingli Sports Day, a historical guided walk, a treasure hunt and community hymn singing.

For 2009 the dates and details of the events are as follows:-

Newport Street Market - Saturday 27th June in Long Street starting at 9.00am

Newport Street Market Established over many years, this market has various stalls selling a wide variety of goods from garden produce to linen goods. This has proved to be an ideal opportunity for local groups and organisations to become stallholders thereby taking the opportunity to raise funds for their worthwhile charitable activities within the local community.

This ever popular event now traditionally heralds the end of Ffair Gurig Week. It is held on the Sunday following the week's activities outside Newport Boat Club. Set against a backdrop of the mountains of Carni Ingli to the south, the westerly sea, plus headlands to the west and north. This is an inspirational setting and an opportunity for people to sing or listen to a wide range of ever popular welsh hymns with a balanced quota of english favourites for the benefit of tourists and non welsh speakers.
