Hay Festival of LiteratureVenue: Hay on Wye
Time: All day
The small market town of Hay is an unlikely setting for one of the world’s biggest book festivals. Hay Festival is a gathering in the staggering
beauty of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
Writers, comedians and musicians that have the capacity to change our lives, to share new visions of the world, and to do that incredibly sexy thing –
to renew our sense of wonder.
One of the world’s biggest book festivals and a literary extravaganza that is now firmly established as the biggest book event in Britain.
For ten days a year 85,000 people come from all over the UK, Europe, America and the rest of the world to join a carnival celebration of ideas and
stories at the Hay Festival.
The programme of some five hundred events takes place in the tented festival village during the spring bank half term holiday. Writers, politicians,
poets, scientists, comedians, philosophers and musicians come together on the greenfield site to talk, eat, think, drink and be merry.
