Festival Time

 

I went down to the Festival site yesterday, to soak up the atmosphere.  There were still lots of school groups around, and they seemed to be enjoying themselves.  Several wildlife and conservation charities were represented among the stalls, including WWF, Greenpeace and the RSPB - and the Woodland Trust is giving trees away again this year.  I also spotted Hay Deli's stall - I hope they do well.

Meanwhile around town food stalls have been going up in the Honesty Gardens, as usual.  There's also a Japanese food stall outside Belmont House and a Kurdish one opposite the Honesty Gardens entrance on Castle Street.  

The Herefordshire Wildlife Trust have a stall outside the Cinema Bookshop, and they're hosting Origin Pizza in the evenings.  Food stalls are going up in gardens along Brecon Road, too - as well as L'Arche selling notebooks with vintage covers and a vintage clothes stall in the garden at Cartref (I liked the fancy Mexican hats!)

Today (Saturday) there's a Craft Fair in the Buttermarket, too - and Hay Castle is open to the public.  They're also hosting Shakespeare performances as part of the Festival, on the lawn.
