Rose Norman for AGA Twyford said: “"We were delighted that so many people came to our special event. We wanted to showcase our new facilities and celebrate our expansion. Having all the extra space means that our customers can come and see lots of different models and makes of cooker, wood burning stoves and cookware, and even see demonstrations which, we hope, will help them visualise what the products will look like in their own home."

The showroom is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and Saturday from 10.30am until 4.30pm.
