(Re)Telling Wales

Hay Festival 2026, 

Come and celebrate Wales, land of legend and song, known for its stories that span countless generations – and a place where, out of this rich heritage, new tales are always being told.

In this unique and immersive evening of stories and song illuminating work steeped in Welsh culture and history, writers Tom Bullough and Lucie McKnight Hardy tell new stories from Wales, including specially commissioned work from the latest issue of Folding Rock magazine. They are stories inspired by folklore, and salute today’s blooming creative landscape.

Featuring music by folk singer-songwriter Martha O’Brien, the evening is hosted by Folding Rock’s editor and co-founder Kathryn Tann. Folding Rock was founded in 2024 to help put Wales and Welsh writing on the UK map.
