It looks like being really busy in town on the last weekend of November.
There's the Hay Winter Festival - though I haven't seen any pamphlets for that yet.
At the same time, there's the Winter Food Fair on Saturday 29th November and a Craft Fair on Sunday 30th, in a marquee on the town square.
On Friday 28th, the evening starts off with the official switching on of the Christmas lights, at 6.30pm at the Buttermarket, and later in the evening Nepal Bazaar are holding an exotic fashion show, with music and cocktails, at the Globe. It's all in aid of the Macmillan Nurses, and the lady at Nepal Bazaar said the people at the Globe had been really helpful. Tickets available at £5 each from Nepal Bazaar, each individually hand crafted after an evening spent with glue and scissors.
On Thursday 27th, there's another special event at the Globe, as the Hay medics who went over to Timbuktu are holding a musical evening. With a grant from the Welsh Assembly, they've brought over Dr Albouhary Toure, the only doctor in Timbuktu, and Mr Elmehdi Ag Wakini. Music will be provided by Dr Pete and Claire - I'm not sure if any Malian music will be happening. I'm sure serious medical things will be happening too - it's not just going to be a jolly for the Timbuktu doctor - but this will be the fun part of the proceedings.
More music at the Globe will be provided as part of the Winter Festival by Alex Valentine, who is launching his new album A Short Album About Love from 10pm onwards on Saturday 29th. That's a bit more expensive, at £9 a ticket from the Hay Festival Office.
