        As it has annually since 1988, at the end of each May the market town of Hay-on-Wye, astride the Welsh-English border on the eastern edge of the Black Mountains of Wales, presents its remarkable Hay Festival. The small Welsh town (population 1,300) has a giant reputation, thanks to its 30 or so bookshops, most dealing in second-hand editions.
        For ten days each year some 50,000 visitors flock to Hay from all over the UK, Europe and America to participate in this festival of ideas—largely literary, but also musical, film, and culinary—where stories are exchanged, ideas are discussed, themes are introduced, and topics are debated.
       When he visited in 2001, former President Bill Clinton called the Hay Festival "the Woodstock of the mind…"
       A full program daily includes discussions, lectures, and performances of poetry, plays, music and dance.
       
        HOME AT FIRST has comfortable Welsh cottages in and around Hay-on-Wye. To line up one for next year’s Hay Festival time, act now! To stay in Hay when you don’t have to share its 30 bookshops, and handful of pubs and restaurants with 49,999 other visitors, call Home At First anytime.
