Hay Festival to host another sports day this year
In the build-up to the Olympic Games last year, Hay Festival hosted its first ever sports day, with the Welsh Sports Association (WSA) facilitating the introductions between NGBs in the sector and the Festival to enable attendees to participate in sporting activities on the day.
The likes of football, fencing and badminton activities took place in the sports field last year, complimenting other activities organised by the Festival such as yoga and wild swimming.
Following the success of the event last year, Hay Festival will host another sports day this year, on Wednesday 28 May.
The WSA is excited to once again collaborate with Hay Festival to bring sporting opportunities for attendees, provided by our Members.
To kick things off, we will be hosting a webinar to detail some of our Members’ options in this space. The webinar will take place at 12:30 on Thursday 6 February – we look forward to seeing you there and discussing how to once again bring sports fever to the Festival!
Hay Festival Background
Based in the booktown of Hay-on-Wye, Wales, Hay Festival brings together diverse voices to listen, talk, debate and create, tackling some of the biggest political, social and environmental challenges of our time.
Through one-of-a-kind festivals in unique locations around the world – plus forums, digital platforms and learning programmes – Hay Festival Global celebrates and inspires different views, perspectives, and points of view.
In 1987, the Festival was dreamt up and, nearly four decades later, Hay Festival Global now runs events and projects all over the world, from the historic town of Cartagena in Colombia to the heart of cities in Peru, Mexico, Spain and the USA. The charity reaches a global audience of millions each year and continues to grow and innovate, earning multiple awards over the years, including Festival of Sanctuary status from refugee charity City of Sanctuary UK and, in 2020, Spain’s Princess of Asturias Award in Communication and Humanities.
