Hay Festival Belfast takes place yearly during the same dates as Hay Festival in Wales, and brings a selection of highlights from the Hay Festival Wales programme to Northern Ireland.
Events in previous years have included Yann Martel in conversation with Marie-Louise Muir, on his novel Beatrice and Virgil, Simon Singh in conversation with William Crawley on The Battle for Free Speech, and Hugh Ambrose in conversation with Tim Loane about The Pacific.
