Whilst now a nationally recognised hub for cultural and intellectual exchange, the festival first started here at the globe and remains tied to our arts centre through our shared founder Hilary Lawson. The festival takes place on a bianual basis, in both London and our very own Hay-on-Wye.
With 300 events in one weekend, we're confident you'll find something that interests you whether its a late night party or a talk from one of the world leading professionals in philosoph, politics, science and much more.
Get your discounted tickets with us! discounted tickets for Hay locals are available from The Globe at Hay - all you need to do is show that you live within a 5 mile radius of The Globe at Hay.
