About Newport

Newport is a market town and is the main hub of the farming community on the Shropshire/Staffordshire border. The Lilleshall National Sports and Conferencing Centre is home to several Team GB squads including the gymnastic team. It names a hugely successful carnival, Victoria Park and Shrewsbury Canal among its highlights. While a thriving night life also attracts students from the Harper Adams University.
