Hay Festival

Hay Festival

Hay Festival’s global conversation shares the latest thinking in the arts and sciences with curious audiences live, in print and online.  Hay Festival runs a wide range of programmes of education work supporting future generations of writers and culturally hungry audiences of all ages. Acclaimed author, actor and writer Stephen Fry is President of the organisation; Peter Florence is Director; and Caroline Michel, CEO of leading literary and talent agency Peters Fraser and Dunlop, is Chair of the board.

Established around a kitchen table in 1987, the organisation now reaches a global audience of hundreds of thousands every year and continues to grow and innovate, building partnerships and initiatives alongside some of the leading bodies in arts and the media, including global partners the BBC, ACW, TATA, British Council and LSE; The Daily Telegraph, Visit Wales, Baillie Gifford, Oxfam, and Good Energy; and international partners Wales Arts International, AC/E, Embassy of Chile, Embassy of Colombia, and the Embassy of Mexico.
