📖 Excerpt from the Wikipedia article

The Newent Onion Fayre was a fair held in Newent, Gloucestershire, England, from the mediaeval period until 1939. The fair was revived in 1996 but cancelled in 2022, as a result of declining support following the COVID-19 pandemic. The fair featured a vegetable show, up to 150 traders, a pleasure fair and a raw onion eating competition. The revived festival attracted up to 15,000 attendees.
