The sun shone down and the crowds gathered for the sixth Aberdyfi Food Festival on Sunday, 20 August.

The festival, which took place on the old school playing field next to the railway station, ran from 10.30am until 4.30pm and was free to attend.

It featured cookery demonstrations by leading local chefs, as well as food and drink products from around Wales and the Borders.
