Last Orders is a book laced with humour and humility and at this year's Hay Winter Festival you'll get an opportunity to listen to and ask questions of the Booker Prize winner, Graham Swift, who penned this very readable work and others such as Waterland. Eleanor Catton will be there too, another winner who is gaining reputation through her book The Luminaries and The Rehearsal.
There are more authors, celebrities and musicians lined up and workshops for the kids too. That is what makes Hay Festival events so appealing but there'll be plenty to do in town too-a food festival on the Saturday and Shops open all weekend. More details available at www.hayfestival.com.
For those who fancy a retro day then the Sunday outing to Hay Does Vintage is a must...plenty of outfits, a talk at the festival and stalls to browse at your leisure. The hassle free way to travel is on the Hay Ho! from Hereford which leaves from Stand 2, Hereford Railway Station at 1010,1310 and 1610. Return buses from Hay (Oxford Road...on the Hay castle side of the road) at 1150,1450 and 1720. Ideal timings for a Hay Day or a few hours come the afternoon.
