Penmaenau Farm welcomes Gareth Wyn Jones for Royal Welsh

A FARM bordering the Royal Welsh Show is busily preparing for next week's event and has announced an entertaining line-up of events for the show. 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.
