Hay Festival, Hay On Wye, Herefordshire.

For 11 days a year many thousands of 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 six hundred events (including two free days for schools and a parallel programme for children and families, called HAYDAYS) takes place in the tented festival village during the spring bank holiday. Writers, politicians, poets, scientists, comedians, philosophers and musicians come together on the greenfield site to talk, eat, think, drink and be merry.

HowTheLightGetsIn, Hay On Wye, Herefordshire.
The world’s largest philosophy and music festival.

Over 300 events, 100 debates and talks, and 200 music and performance events.

HowTheLightGetsIn returns to Hay-on-Wye for a festival experience full of magic and wonder.

On the Bank Holiday weekend from 24th – 27th May, our newly expanded Riverside site will host more venues than ever before. You’ll find headline music acts, the best in stand-up comedy from the UK and beyond, debates between the world’s leading thinkers, and so much more.

Our music programme is what makes HowTheLightGetsIn unique. From enchanting solo singers to exhilarating dance, all day and night, you’ll find our idyllic riverside site alive with the music that fills the air.

As night begins to fall at HowTheLightGetsIn, the Ring and the Stage turn from hubs of intellectual activity into venues abuzz with some of the UK’s best comedy acts. With an indecently funny line-up, the laughs are (almost) guaranteed to drown out the party next door. We’re joined by comics such as Phil Wang, Lou Sanders, and Ahir Shah rubbing shoulders with some of the best up-and-coming talent on the comedy circuit.

Accommodation
Complete your festival experience with a Boutique Yurt, nominated for best hospitality at the 2018 UK Festival Awards. Against the backdrop of the Black Mountains, our brand new location for 2019 provides an unmatched combination of tranquility for your glamping experience, whilst also being just opposite the Riverside Festival site.

You can retreat at the end of the day to the comfort of your own yurt within minutes. Based on the traditional Mongolian dwellings, our Yurts offer hotel style accommodation and provide a cosy, dry haven to retreat into and rest up between the jam-packed days and nights. With access to plenty of luxury showers, toilets and a pamper parlour, glamping never felt so decadent.

Ewyas Harold Festival Of Arts, Herefordshire

Ewyas Harold will hold its second Arts Festival, showcasing and selling the works of local artists, photographers and crafts people in Ewyas Harold Memorial Hall, St Michael’s Hall, St Michael’s Church, the Temple Bar Inn, the Baptist Hall, and the Methodist Hall.

There will be other events and activities too; craft demonstrations and videos, a display of old photos of the village, music by community choirs and The Psychedelic Heart’s Club Band, and opportunities to learn how to ring the church bells. Villagers and local schoolchildren are already helping make bunting, as well as making plans for their scarecrows.

The Festival is very much a community event, and the Kemble Centre marquee will be the base for local groups and organisations that work for the benefit of the local community, and the local environment.

Old King Street Farm’s llamas will be putting in an appearance outside the Memorial Hall, and Sunanta’s Thai Kitchen will be selling homemade Thai cuisine outside the Kemble Centre.

The Festival Information tent will also be based outside the Kemble Centre and ‘park and ride’ transport between Ewyas Harold Memorial Hall and the village centre will be provided by Dore Community Transport.

There are no entrance fees to any of the exhibitions/events.
