Well worth a visit, followed by a nice pint in the Half Moon on the way back.

Working class.....just to get everyone seeing it....this literary festival is fantastic.......really out of the box fantastic.....but it is by it's nature...a middle class event. It would be good to see people from the nearby valleys.....people who are working class having a say here. There is a disconnect between the Wye Valley crowd....and ordinary working class people....not too far away.....but enough for them....'not to be an issue'

Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

It's great.went last year and listened to a talk by Gordon Brown on Brexit and some American author on the effect of Russians agricultural reforms on the Ukraine and the starvation and poverty that it brought.

Hay's a lovely spot. The Wye Valley in general really.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

One of the main organisers/compères is Dai Smith, mun! The subject matter is, as always, as far-ranging as could be.

There’s nothing classist about the Festival, it’s an opportunity for everybody from whatever background to ‘know’ a little more today than they did the day before. It’s about broadening horizons, my friend, and that’s about as close to an absolute good as you’re likely to get.

I appeared there a few years ago (many years ago, if i'm a tad more truthful) and since I was there for the whole shebang I got to see scores of events. It was fantastic. Apart from Will Self, who was a royal pain.

Ah! good for you. That’s brilliant. I was probably there wandering about with a stack of books under my arm. I’d have stood you a pint.

Will Self? I can easily believe it. He was probably high as a kite at the time, if we’re talking twenty years ago?

Llanthony. I recommend the show too. Normally the first week of August. Highlight always the boys doing the rodeo on the mountain ponies.
