Sculpture around Hay

I've just been reading the flyer for the Fair on the Square. They've done this for a couple of years now, in the square under the Castle - but this year there's something extra. They've set up a sculpture trail meandering from the Festival site to the middle of town, with sculptures displayed in various places that don't usually get noticed by the visitors. So there'll be something in the garden of Cartref old people's home, and in the Swan Hotel garden. A chap came to the Cinema today to talk about setting his sculptures up there, under the tent - though there isn't actually a tent there this week, as the canvas has gone away to be cleaned.
There's more at Mason's Yard up at the Castle, and Drover Holidays near the top of the big car park, at Oriel Gallery by Salem Chapel and on the Library Green (if there's room with that skip and its hoarding stuck in the middle of it - at least they've painted the hoarding green so it blends in a bit). Herb Farmacy and Booths Bookshop are having interior displays, and Tinto House is opening up its garden again. Nearly all the exhibitors are local, too.

Meanwhile, there appears to be a burst water main outside the Cinema - so that's more road works, just when we thought it was all over.
