Toilet twinning?!
With £60 you can choose any country to build a toilet..
2. Eisteddfod visitors, you must be very familiar with this logo now, as it appears on the door of every loo here. Toilet Twinning is a charity which fundraises to twin toilets in underdeveloped countries. As it says on their website, "like all the greatest ideas, Toilet Twinning was born in the bathroom."
As a non-profitable organization,Toilet Twinning only has part-time staff and Jasmine Jones is one of them. "It's been a good week. We've got 25 twinners or donors so far."
A 45-year-old bookshop...
3. Awen Meirion is a bookshop with various items for sale on the Maes including CDs, books and crafts, which are ideal to keep you entertained on or off the Maes.
"Business is usually better at the Eisteddfod than that in my real shop, especially when the weather is good."
4. As well as the National Eisteddfod, there's an annual Urdd National Eisteddfod in May which is for all the young people under 25. They are selling toys all week to help their fundraising and have done very well so far.
As well as the stand, they have a trampoline area for children at £1.50 a go.
