History
Machynlleth was the ancient capital of Wales and is surrounded by hills and valleys, streams and rivers and the sea. It’s a quaint shopping town and has numerous specialist shops.
Aga in the field
The 2nd annual Welsh Food festival drew large crowds this weekend (1st & 2nd Sept), at the lovely venue of Glasevern Gardens Welshpool.
A two day event with displays of dancing, crafts and lots of stalls with top quality foods and welsh producers.
The Aga took centre stage of the demonstration marquee, where a succession of chefs and food gurus, (including our own Dawn Rhodes and Eirlys Williams), kept audiences enthralled with a fantastic display of cullinary skills and copious amounts of food to taste.
A free prize draw of £100 and £150 worth of Aga gift vouchers was provided by Aga Shop Machynlleth and proved very popular indeed.
The Machynlleth shop staff were beset by members of the public eager for some of the recepies, so I've listed some of the most popular below.
Whilst they were cooking up a storm in the marquee the rain outside held off till the end of the show, a great feat in itself this summer.
Hope to see everyone again next year.

Pancakes A Plenty
Shrove Tuesday came and went in Machynlleth with no pancakes at the Aga Shop, as other commitments caused the staff to be else where. Owing to popular demand from locals and customers we had to hold our popular Pancakes for charity on Ash Wednesday.
Rhian and Chris cooked up the usual storm on the aga making untold numbers of pancakes (till their eyes looked like pancakes) all in aid of Red Nose Day. It is such a popular event that it has become part of the tradition in this part of Mid Wales, a hit with the young and old alike.
