Hay Winter Festival is coming up soon, (next weekend, in fact) and there are lots of things going on around town that are not in the official programme.
Wobbly Owl is the new cider shop opposite the Blue Boar. They are paired with an Owl Sanctuary in Ebbw Vale - they even sell cuddly owls to raise funds. On 29th November, they will have some owls from the sanctuary in the shop.
Down at the Poetry Bookshop on 30th November, there will be a day of poetry. From 10am to 3pm, on the hour, they will have two poets performing their poetry - a different two poets each time. They are partnered with Parthian Books for the event, which is free. There are actually thirteen poets - there will be three performing at 1pm.
Also on 30th November, and also partnered with Parthian Books, North Books will be hosting an event at 4pm. The event is called Birds of the Imagination, and features three writers talking about how birds and the natural world thread through our lives and our imagination and into our words and writing. Tickets are £5 from the bookshop - please book in advance.
Also at North Books, in the evening, there's live music. Julie Brominicks will be reading extracts from her travelogue The Edge of Cymru, published by Seren Books, with music from Rowan Bartram's EP Outta Borders. The email I have doesn't mention ticket prices, but the doors open at 7.30pm for the performance to start at 8pm. Drinks will be available.
