For more than 20 years the Hay Festival has brought writers, thinkers, musicians, film-makers and scientists together around the world to cross cultural and genre barriers and foster the exchange of ideas. Hay sets literature within a wider cultural and social context that creates high definition live festivals and internationally resonant media impact. In Bill Clinton’s famous phrase it is the “Woodstock of the mind”.
