Let’s Get Nessa on Barry town Square.
💋 What’s occurring
Barry gave the world Gavin & Stacey… now it’s time the world gave Barry a statue of its true queen – Nessa Jenkins 🗿🚬
We’re callin’ on Barry Town Council to stick her in the square, where she belongs – larger than life, lookin’ down on us all like Uncle Bryn on a Sat Nav.
📸 Imagine the selfies.
🍻 Imagine the tourism.
🎬 Imagine the legacy.

As Nessa would say: “I won’t lie to you… this is bigger than the fishing trip.”
Why is this important?
Why this should happen:
Ruth Jones and James Corden created one of the most iconic television shows of all time with Gavin & Stacey. They put our town on the map, bringing thousands of visitors to Barry and making it a place recognised and loved around the world.
It’s only right that we show our appreciation in a lasting way. Placing a statue of Nessa in Barry Town Square – the very spot where she once performed her legendary mime artistry – would be a perfect thank you to Ruth and James for giving us such an incredible gift.
The statue would not only celebrate the cultural legacy of Gavin & Stacey, but also stand as a tribute to the pride, humour and heart of Barry itself.
