Hay is renowned for its good food, second-hand books and peaceful atmosphere. The annual festival floods the town with visitors, media types and writers, disrupting the peace and quiet. But it's no Glastonbury - a visit should leave you flushed with enthusiasm rather than stressed or exhausted.
The event is not limited to the strictly literary; there are a number of concerts and comedy shows on offer, as well as a choice of restaurants.
For full details of this year's programme, please visit the festival website.
