It&#039;s the perfect opportunity to discover Wales in the spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bs-reponse-express wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In short:<\/strong> The Hay Festival 2027 takes place from May 27 to June 6, 2027, in Hay-on-Wye, on the border between Wales and England. It features hundreds of talks and conferences, mostly in English. Book your tickets as soon as the program is released and your accommodation well in advance, as the town is small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"brightside-cta-intro\" style=\"margin:24px 0;padding:18px 20px;background:#faf8f0;border-left:4px solid #384229;border-radius:6px\"><div style=\"margin:0 0 10px;color:#1b1f13\"><strong>Want to experience the Hay Festival?<\/strong> Our experts will organize your <a style=\"color:#384229;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:600\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/destination\/wales-trip\/\">tailor-made trip to Wales<\/a> around the festival.<\/div><div style=\"margin:0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/request-a-quote\/?destination=voyage-pays-de-galles\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#384229;color:#ffffff;font-weight:600;padding:12px 22px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none\">Get my free quote<\/a> <span style=\"font-size:.9em;color:#555;margin-left:8px\">Free and without obligation<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hay Festival 2027: dates and program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dates<\/strong> : from Thursday, May 27 to Sunday, June 6, 2027.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Place<\/strong> Hay-on-Wye, in Powys, Wales.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Edition<\/strong> : the 40th anniversary, an anniversary not to be missed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Program<\/strong> : meetings with authors, debates, concerts, workshops for children and shows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full program is published a few weeks before the event on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hayfestival.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website of the Hay Festival<\/a>. Consult it to book your favorite matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hay-on-Wye, the city of books<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even before the festival, Hay-on-Wye is famous for its many secondhand bookshops. This small town of a few thousand inhabitants boasts around twenty of them, some located in unusual places. Strolling through its narrow streets is a true pleasure for all lovers of old books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I get tickets?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each event requires its own ticket. The most anticipated events, featuring well-known authors, sell out quickly. We therefore recommend booking as soon as the program is released. However, access to the festival grounds, with its cafes and bookstore, is often free, allowing you to enjoy the atmosphere without a ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to stay during the Hay Festival?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hay-on-Wye has limited accommodation options, which are in high demand during the festival, so book several months in advance. Alternatively, stay in the nearby villages of Brecon or in a cottage in the Brecon Beacons, a 30-minute drive away. It&#039;s also a great opportunity to explore the Welsh countryside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do around the festival?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The region offers magnificent scenery. Brecon Beacons National Park (Bannau Brycheiniog) is nearby, ideal for hiking. Then, extend your stay towards <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/what-to-do-in-cardiff\/\">Cardiff<\/a>, then northwards and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/what-to-see-in-snowdonia\/\">Snowdonia Park<\/a>.

However, the city&#039;s atmosphere and bookstores are worth a visit, even with a basic level of English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to get to Hay-on-Wye?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Driving remains the most practical option. From London, the journey takes approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes. Alternatively, the nearest train station is Hereford, from where you&#039;ll need to take a bus or taxi.
