Machynlleth is set to go under the TV spotlight as BBC Countryfile airs a Mid-Wales based edition of the programme on Sunday, June 30.

Host Anita Rani will visit feature various organisations from around the town with an environmental focus, following on the declaration of a climate emergency in the town earlier this year.

She stops off at the repair café where everything from bikes to old umbrellas is given a new lease of life, and picks her own veg at some of the Mach Maethlon help-yourself plots around the town before heading to the Centre for Alternative Technology where she cooks up a feast with the veg she’s picked in a big solar-powered oven.

While at the Centre she checks out the latest designs in solar heating and finds out that everything from cherry stones to bracken can be used to insulate modern homes.

In January this year Machynlleth's Town Council became the first in Wales to declare a "climate emergency". The town council backed the decision unanimously, after being presented with a petition signed by 500 people ahead of it's January meeting.

The programme airs at 8pm on BBC One.
