Penmaenau Farm welcomes Gareth Wyn Jones for Royal Welsh
Penmaenau Farm Camping will be hosting live music and a whole host of fun-filled events during show week, including its own speed shear, which is returning after a successful debut in 2024.
The Royal Welsh Show takes place on the showground in Llanelwedd – a stone's throw from Penmaenau – from Monday to Thursday next week, July 21-24.
Celebrity farmer Gareth Wyn Jones will also be in attendance at the farm during the week, as well as the Wilson & Ashley podcast.
The Penmaenau Speed Shear will be taking place in the main shed at 6pm, with money from it to be donated to local cancer charity the Bracken Trust.
Gareth will be hosting a live podcast on Tuesday evening, complete with special guests, as part of an evening called 'Farming Faces'. This will also feature the all-female podcast Wilson & Ashley, hosted by farmers Rebecca Wilson and Charlotte Ashley.
'This will be a Q&A session as we want young people's thoughts on how tough farming is at the moment and what will be faced in the future,' said Gwyn Davies, of Penmaenau farm.
'We're trying to get young farming families involved. There's never been a tougher time to get into farming.
'We're excited to have the Wilson & Ashley podcast too, as we thought it was time for a bit more female interaction.
'There's too many male stereotypes in farming and there are of course lots of women in farming too.'
There's also a foam party, with live music at the farm every night from 8pm, with the bar and venue open until late.

Glasgow artist's tribute to Oasis ahead of Murrayfield gigs
Well-known Glasgow artist Ashley Rawson has created a tribute to the legendary rock band, which Casts a Shadow on Buchanan Street in the city centre. Titled 'Bro(w)therly Love', it features a massive monobrow which meets in the middle between two phone boxes on the busy street. It also features small figurines of the Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, in the centre and has an eye which references their discovery at the famous King Tut's Wah Wah Hut venue on St Vincent Street.

"With this one, I was just walking through town and I just noticed that there were these two phone boxes together and I thought, what could I do with that... "I just thought, the Gallaghers, I was quite excited about them getting back together. "I ended up thinking that I'll do something a bit weird, and thought about what they're famous for. "So, I just thought I'd put a monobrow on that, and I'll do these little models of the two Gallagher brothers. "I like the idea that siblings can fall out and the idea of them coming together, and it being a nice message." Ashley is accustomed to being a Street-Art Supernova in Glasgow and has previously painted a mural of 'Christ on a Bike' on the Clydeside, as well as a depiction of Donald Trump behind bars, located behind the Brazen Head pub in the Gorbals.

Ashley said: "Glasgow feels like quite a good place for Oasis because it's a kind of you know it's not too dissimilar from Manchester. "It's an industrial town, and the fact that they were discovered here by a Scottish guy as well, I think that's all really, really worth referencing." Ashley, who is known for the Glasgow Kiss painting, among others, is exhibiting his work later this year as part of the Glasgow 850 celebrations at Cass Art in the city centre. The artist's works include Glasgow Kiss, featuring a Rangers and Celtic fan kissing. He is also responsible for the Hampden Bowling Club mural marking a Scotland 5-1 win over England on the site in 1882, and recently the Grumpy Oompa Lumpa from the now infamous Glasgow Wonka event.

The joy of seeing his street art 'bring people a bit of joy' isn't lost on him, though. Ashley explained: "I think that kind of art, this idea of taking something that's normal and mundane, like a telephone box, and then doing something fun with it, is great. "I just like the idea of someone walking past it one day, and it's just the usual. "It's the way it's always been, and they don't see it. "And then the next day there's been this change, and you know, it's nice. "It just kind of entertains people, gives them a wee smile, and that's what I think that street art's really good for." Oasis is set to play three huge sold-out dates at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh next month as part of The Oasis Live '25 tour.
