Hay Winter Festival

 The brochure is out for the Winter Festival, and today I went down to the Drill Hall to book my tickets.  Miranda Aldhouse-Green is speaking to Daniel Morden at St Mary's Church on Saturday 25th November at 5.30pm about Enchanted Wales: Myth and Magic in Welsh Storytelling.  There were only a few tickets left!

I went with a friend to the Pagan Phoenix Conference a few years ago, and she was one of the speakers there.  Fortunately, she was the last speaker of the day, because she over-ran by quite a bit - she had a lot of slides to get through about Roman Britain and their Gods, and it was all fascinating.  She's also written several books on archaeology and Celtic Gods and Goddesses.

There's a lot of good stuff over the weekend, including Father Richard playing the organ for the silent film The Hunchback of Notre Dame at 8.30pm on Friday 24th November.  This will be after the switching on of the Christmas Lights in the Town Square earlier in the evening, which is always great fun.

There are lots of other interesting guests, and craft workshops, and this year it's all going to be centred around the Castle.

The Winter Festival runs from Thursday 23rd November to Sunday 26th November, and there's an online pass for people who can't be there in person.  For more information visit hayfestival.org/winter-weekend
