A shop with a soul. Old Welsh blankets, textiles, handmade leather goods and beautiful but useful objects for the home. Buy from us with confidence, knowing everything is sourced locally where possible, or from ethical traders, or individual craftspeople, using natural and sustainable materials. We champion traditional skills and craftsmanship and offer them to a 21st century audience. Visit our stand on the Festival site or our shop in Castle Street, Hay-on-Wye.

ABOUT US

Hay Festival runs for ten days with a packed programme of debates and conversations with poets and scientists, novelists and historians, artists and gardeners, comedians and musicians, film makers and politicians.

The Sound Castle is our new late night music club.

Hay Fever - our festival for families and children, runs across the ten days of the festival where children have the chance to meet and talk to their favourite writers and take part in workshops to create wonderful memories and develop new skills in imaginative thinking and self expression.

Hf2 is our festival for teenagers - from high tech workshops on making music and films to an awesome line-up of cutting-edge writers, Hf2 is a mind-blowing experience for 13-plus.

We care passionately about our environment. Hay-on-Earth debates the latest thoughts on climate change and environmental awareness.

In 2006 we started the Hay-on-Earth Project to audit, address and change our ecological sustainability.
