Lourin Fair and ORCA
The village hosts Lourin Fair, a traditional country fair dating back some 500 years, held annually on the third Saturday in August.
Lourin Fair is well attended and quite unusual including traditional elements such as Clydesdale Horse competition/parade; bothy concert; pipe band; It's a knockout; homecraft & produce competition; demonstrations; traditional children's games; vintage vehicles and tea/coffee with "fancy pieces"
The fair is organised by the Old Rayne Community Association, (ORCA) a registered charity raising funds for community projects; the upkeep of the village hall and supporting local organisations including Toddlers; Playgroup; Scouts; Bowling and Ospreys football.
