Hay-on-Wye Christmas Lights switch-on

Take in the beauty of the booktown in the Christmas season, and be part of the Hay-on-Wye festival extravaganza this Festival Friday to kick off your evening of festive fun.

Memorial Square will be filled with festive spirit: watch as Santa passes by on a steam engine, partake in Christmas activities, and grab a delicious bite to eat and a warming drink ahead of the main event.

On this magical occasion, with Hay Castle as your backdrop, watch as the Christmas lights are switched on by Hay-on-Wye’s Citizen of the Year and a special guest, following in the footsteps of previous guests including Miriam Margoyles, Hamza Yassin and Luke Evans.

Co-hosted by Hay Town Council and Hay Chamber of Commerce.
