Parking at the Hay Festival

Please refrain from
parking on the roads
in Hay.

Thank you.

Car Parking

The car parks are situated off the Brecon Road B4350, and also on the Llanigon Road. Official Festival Parking sites costs £5 per day (£3 after 6pm).

Wet weather car parking will be at Clyro Court, HR3 5LE only. A shuttle bus service will operate between Clyro Court and Oxford Road Car Park. The Hay Town Shuttle will then take visitors to the festival site. This is to avoid congestion and to provide the most efficient service.

Disabled parking will continue to be available on the festival site. Please book a disabled parking space at the time of booking tickets.

In 2013, car parking revenue is shared between:

Hay St Mary’s Football Club
Macmillan Cancer Research (over £100,000 raised so far)
Festivals of Literature Charitable Trust

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 - with an awesome line-up featuring the movers and shakers of Young Adult writing, Hf2 is a mind-blowing experience for 13-plus.
