We have a wide range of Aga cookers on display including 2 working Agas, (a 30amp 2 oven night storage and a 4 oven gas power flue) so why not call us to arrange a One-to-One demonstration if you are considering purchasing an Aga?
On display in store we also have 2, 3 and 4 oven Agas, some with ceramic and gas modules, the Aga 6:4 series and the Aga 4:2 series. We have a separate store, just a few doors away which houses our Rayburn collection and cast iron stoves. We also stock the full range of Aga Cookware.
In addition to our two stores in Tunbridge Wells, we also have a secondary display showroom in Canterbury. Fireplace Warehouse displays both the Aga and Rayburn brands and also boasts a wide choice of stoves and fireplaces.

During December we also hold a variety of Christmas cooking demonstrations to help to take the stress out of the festive period! All of our demonstrations are incredibly popular, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
The store has a friendly and knowledgeable team of 9 Aga and Rayburn enthusiasts and the most experienced team member has been with the company for 12 years! We also have two experienced project managers: Roger Irwin and Barry Jones covering a wide area from Lewes in East Sussex to Margate in Kent.
As a team we are passionate about our product and our customers. We want our customers to love Aga and to also love the shopping experience in our store. With this in mind, you will usually find that Dennis and Lorraine have been baking some tasty treats everyday to delight our customers!
MEET THE TEAM Penny, the store manager, is the newest member of the team. “I joined Aga in 2008, having spent most of my working life in retail management. I love the energy and diverse nature of retail and also love the fact that no two days are the same. I am especially passionate about Aga, as I am a keen cook and until I joined the company, I had never had the opportunity to use an Aga. I have been blown away by how easy cooking on an Aga is and how good the food tastes. Everything I try just seems to come out perfectly!”
Andy is the Assistant Manager and grew up in a family of Aga and Rayburn owners. He has been working for Aga for 3 years and is very knowledgeable about Agas and Rayburns alike. Andy is a keen cook and also likes to grow his own vegetables.
Lorraine has been with the company for nearly 2 years now and hated baking before she joined Aga! She now regularly bakes in store and her repertoire includes Banana and Cinnamon cake, rock cakes and lime and coconut cup cakes. Mmmm!
Dennis has been with Aga for over year now and is our “One-to-One” demonstrator. He also regularly cooks on our Rayburn 400.
Jackie has worked in the Tunbridge Wells store for 12 years and has owned 5 Agas! She currently has a 13 amp 3 oven Aga and is a fountain of knowledge for all things Aga.
Carol, Deliza, Becky and Sam are the other members of the Aga team and are all huge Aga fans.
