Gorey (Irish: Guaire)[2] is a market town in north County Wexford, Ireland.

[11][12] Evidence of ancient settlement in the area includes a number of standing stone, fulacht fiadh, burnt mound, holy well and ringfort sites in the townlands of Gorey Hill, Gorey Corporation Lands and Ramstown Lower.

[23] Together with several other developments in the area, the Ram family also built a large estate to the north of the town.

Naomh Éanna's club ground is called Pairc uí Síochain located at the top of Clonattin Gorey, County Wexford.

The town lies on the N11 road route (Dublin-to-Rosslare) and, until a by-pass was opened in June 2007, local traffic congestion was an issue.

[39] Bus Éireann also operates route 379 between Gorey, Ballycanew and Wexford on Mondays and Saturdays only.

Route UM11 is operated by Wexford Bus between Gorey and Maynooth University during term time for students.

[41] Dunnes Coaches operates route IW07 between Gorey's Main Street and Carlow College via Camolin.

[43] Gorey has had a local theatre group since the 1950s, which hosts a number of performances annually from its 300-seat auditorium.

[46] For 15 years during the 1970s and early 1980s, the Gorey Arts Festival, organised by local artist Paul Funge, was held in the town during the summer.

[47] Performers at the festival included U2, Horslips, Chris de Burgh, Christy Moore, Planxty, Makem and Clancy, Niall Tóibín and Eamon Morrissey.

[48][49] Every year, varying from late July to early August, Gorey's main street closes over several days for the Market House Festival.
