Hay Festival 2016 (26 May - 5 June)

The 29th Hay Festival is under way with a number of significant literary anniversaries featuring prominently:

Shakespeare 400 - commemorating 400 years since the death of William Shakespeare.


Charlotte Bronte - bicentenary of her birth.


Centenary of Roald Dahl's birth.

The Hay Festival was founded around a kitchen table in 1987 and continues to attract the most exciting writers, film makers, comedians, politicians and musicians to inspire, delight and entertain.

For 10 days in May and June, Hay is full of stories, ideas, laughter and music. With loads going on for kids too, it makes a great family day out.
