The festival will also be welcoming The Tate's Great British Art Debate Tent with a mix of solo talks, conversations, music, and entertainment. All served up with winter-warming mulled cider, hog roasts and nightly displays of pyrotechnic wizardry outside in the globefield.

The festival's home includes the newly extended globe field. Although the festival site and the programme of events are growing, organisers will keep the informal atmosphere and the intimate feel that has made the festival such a special event.

Venues

In The Globe At Hay will be big debates during the day and live music and parties in the evening. In the globe field there will be the Tate Great British Art Debate Tent with a cabaret mix of solo talks, music, interview, and desert island art and outside pyrotechnic excitement with globe on fire events. And just adjacent to the globe field is a new space, the Crunch Art Fair, a first for this year.
