The Friends of Hay Festival was formed in 1988 to support and raise money for the Festival. Members continue to make a vital contribution to our success and fund the annual Friends Lecture.
Membership lasts for 12 months and costs £20 for single or £34 for double membership and supports the running of the Festival office and our education outreach projects.
