Access for Minors

We offer a free program designed for children within the Hay Festival Comunitario. For the general program, minors under 16 are allowed entry as long as they are accompanied by an adult and hold a ticket. As the general program is designed for an adult audience, it is up to parents/guardians to decide whether the content is appropriate for minors under 16 in their care.
