The new map of Hay is fresh off the printing press!
This year's colours are blue and yellow, to indicate Hay's support for the people of Ukraine.
The notes on the leaflet also mention the return of the Summer Hay Festival (in actual tents on the edge of town, rather than online).
Also happening this year is the re-opening of Hay Castle, now expected to be in late May, and the first ever Hay Pride event, "A Love Letter to Our Town", on Sunday 12th June.
The leaflet also includes the details of a new bookshop in Hay, due to open in late April. This will be North Books, at 4 Castle Street, selling new fiction and non-fiction.
There is also a note remembering the booksellers who have died in the past year:
Peter Harries of Boz Books
Pat Thornton of Booth's Books
and Michael Bullock of Hay-on-Wye Booksellers.
In the last few days, another bookseller, Mike Trowell, who worked at Hay Cinema Bookshop, has died, but I suppose it was too late for the leaflet to include him.
