Wray
is full of lively local characters and groups, - and hosts many local
events, such as the scarecrow festival and maggot races. Wray is also
the first wireless hotspot village in Lancashire and lit the first
rural fibre to the home in the UK in 2009. The whole village now has
access to hyperfast fibre broadband at 1000 Mbps, that is a Gigabit and
it's symmetrical, which means the upload is as fast as the download!
