what’s that dragon in Newport?

Overnight,  the City’s streets, parks and open spaces have been taken over by some unusual and colourful visitors! 

We’d like to introduce you to the newest member of the Seren team - he’s called i’r Nefoedd, and he’s Seren’s very own Superdragon - or ‘Nef’ to his friends who have grown to love him already.  Translated, i’r Nefoedd means, ‘to the Heavens’ .

‘Nef’ will be on display outside Newport’s Central Market, from July to mid-October and, along with 59 other Superdragons, will play a a major part in this year’s Newport Festival. 

The Superdragon project has been developed by Newport City Council, in partnership with Wild in Art.  Each Dragon has been painted and decorated by local artists and community groups. 

‘Nef’ is a very friendly dragon;  he has already attracted a lot of attention, smiles  and admiring glances.  Young children of course, simply love him, giving him a gentle pat and wave as they pass by.

Don’t be shy, go and say ‘hi’ to ‘Nef’!
