Hay on Wye Literary Festival

[RosaLuxembourg]

Am thinking of taking the DDs this year as there are lots of children's authors as well as interesting stuff for grown-ups. Haven't been for at least 10 years but I used to love it pre-kids. Anyone been recently? I imagine it has changed a lot since 1995!

it is really different now - quite a lot bigger not so much of the 'cosy' feel - but does mean that there are more authors and there is still a nice feel to it. when I was there about 3 yrs ago there were families and children running round so it should be good.

If they are having children's events they should expect children!!!

can you link to the programme?

Here is the draft programme Not yet finalised but looking good.

oh thanks - it does look good.

I went to the Oxford one the other week - a bit of a mini wamr up version of this - had alexander mccall smith, aa gill, ruth rendell etc. but hay is always so exciting.

Oh you have got me a thinking.....

I am going!
Can anyone else get a reply from the email on the site though? I have tried and had no response
Staying in the area for a week and want to plan around the kids events as we are also going to Cardiff!

Loads of interesting people for me on the programme shame I can only see the kids ones!
There is Lauren Child though!
