STATEMENT FROM HAY FESTIVAL CEO JULIE FINCH

“In this time of national mourning we celebrate Her Majesty The Queen’s extraordinary life of public service and commitment to the arts, and send our condolences to her family. To our community of writers, festival makers and friends who will be affected by this in many different ways, you are also in our thoughts, and we will continue to process this change together in our events and conversations to come.”

– Julie Finch, CEO of Hay Festival.
