What to know

Hay-on-Wye (Y Gelli Gandryll) is the book town on the Wye — Powys taxi table; festival week is not a normal Tuesday; border with England at the river.

Minibuses during Hay Festival and book-town weekends

Late May and early June turn Hay into a temporary city of marquees, publishers, and day coaches. 8-seaters disappear first. If you are moving a family plus folding chairs, a reading group, or a Glasbury walk party, pre-book a minibus with a Powys-licensed firm days ahead — not the morning of your event.

Outside festival week the town is quieter, but weekend book browsers still fill saloons on Castle Street evenings. Give a precise pickup (Lion Street, Broad Street, or a named field site) because temporary festival addresses confuse drivers.
