Hay History Weekend

Hay's new History Group are certainly starting off with enthusiasm!
They're putting on a History Weekend on the 7th and 8th September. This is at the same time as Brecknock History Week, over in Brecon, and I think there might be other towns and villages taking part too.
Here in Hay, there will be guided tours of the Castle and Church (with Father Richard playing the organ). There's an exhibition in the gallery at Salem chapel of photographs of Hay (and they're hoping to persuade the choir to sing, too). A pop-up museum is opening up at St John's, where anyone can bring along artefacts and pictures relating to the local area. There will be films - On the Black Hill, and a documentary about Real Life On the Black Hill, and there will be walks around the town.
