Platinum Jubilee

 It's all happening over the next few weeks!

As well as Hay Festival at one end of town and How The Light Gets In at the other, there will also be three days of celebrations for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee!  As well as the Festival bunting, there's a lot of red, white and blue bunting going up around town.

On Thursday 2nd June, from 7pm in the Memorial Car Park, there will be a Proms performance, choirs and a piper, and the lighting of a beacon.

On Friday 3rd June, there will be a bouncy castle at the recreation ground on Brecon Road, with barbeque, live music, and traditional games, with the Bowls Club, Football club, youth club and more.

On Saturday 4th June, there will be a Carnival Parade around Hay, starting at Cartref at 12.30, and finishing at the Memorial Car Park.  The theme is historical events of the last seventy years (and I'm afraid my mind went completely blank when I was trying to think of an appropriate costume to wear!).  The judging of the costumes will be followed by a community lunch - bring your own picnic, with extras provided by the town council.  There will also be live music.

These events are all free, apart from ice creams, food stalls and alcohol/drinks.
