Hay-on-Wye guide

Market towns are compact — you can often park once and walk the centre, but confirm pay-and-display hours.

Licensed hackney carriages use the council meter from ranks and street hails — see the Hay-on-Wye tariff page. Private hire must be pre-booked with a price agreed when you book.

FSA hygiene ratings run 0–5 — search the venue on food.gov.uk before you book. Many cafes close by mid-afternoon.

Confirm breakfast, parking and cancellation on the venue's own site. Event weekends push rates up in larger towns.

Gas Safe before any gas or boiler work. Electrical jobs should leave a certificate. Get scope and price in writing — highway skip permits apply on public roads.

Book adventure and farm attractions ahead on bank holidays — check fitness and age limits on operator sites.

Walk the centre if it is compact, eat once somewhere with a checkable hygiene rating, and use pillar pages for stay and trades if plans change.
