Welcome to Hay

We know most of you can't visit at the moment so here's a little taster of Hay at this time last year and as it is today. We will also join TV presenter and archaeologist Jules Hudson (Escape to the Country, Countryfile) as he tours the restoration work at Hay Castle with site historian Mari Fforde. This is a unique opportunity to get a glimpse behind the scenes of the incredible transformation of this historic building which over the centuries has been a fortress, a family home, and world-famous bookshop. Hay Castle will reopen to the public in 2021, and Jules and Mari will show you some of the surprises you can look forward to.
