This was the 25th Newent Onion Fayre, and it welcomed thousands of attendees to enjoy live music, entertainment, food and drink, exhibitions, children's events and over 150 stands and stalls. Marcus Billig, Site Manager of our Newent facility, entered the legendary onion eating competition, where contestants are challenged to eat a raw onion as quickly as possible. Representing the company with flair, he undertook this challenge dressed as a chicken – sadly he didn’t win, but certainly made a valiant effort! The company is always pleased to help support local events such as the Newent Onion Fayre, and as a major employer in the area, recognises the value of inviting local residents to learn about what we do and what we offer as an employer. We’re already looking forward to next year’s event! ## Share: - [Share on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://www.avarafoods.co.uk/news/avara-foods-supports-newent-onion-fayre-2019) - [Share on X](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://www.avarafoods.co.uk/news/avara-foods-supports-newent-onion-fayre-2019) - [Share on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https://www.avarafoods.co.uk/news/avara-foods-supports-newent-onion-fayre-2019) ## Good news [View all](https://www.avarafoods.co.uk/news) ## [![](https://www.avarafoods.co.uk/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1702913432-av-sign-Oct-15-2025-11-12-29-2687-PM.png?noresize) 24 Apr 2026 Gender Pay Reporting We've published our 2025 Gender Pay reporting Read more](https://www.avarafoods.co.uk/news/gender-pay-reporting-1) ## [![](https://www.avarafoods.co.uk/hubfs/2.jpg?noresize) 25 Mar 2026 Progress With Purpose: Avara’s Latest Responsible Business Report Lands Avara Foods publishes it's latest Responsible Business Brand, 'For Good'.
