HAY MUSIC presents a concert for children - but adults will love it too!

In this much-loved musical fairytale, composed by Sergei Prokofiev in 1936, the narrator tells a folk story which the players illustrate by playing the different instruments which represent each character in the story.

Performed by the Solstice Collective wind quintet with narrator Felix Ashley who are all graduates of the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.

Tickets: Adults £15 / under 25s FREE directly from Hay Music

Cantorion Y Gelli is Hay’s mixed-voice, Welsh-language choir.

Musical Director, Gemma Woolford, gathered a group of friends together after the final lockdown to learn one Welsh song, and the fun started from there. Members are either learning Welsh or passionate about Wales and the language, three first language Welsh-speakers keeping a close ear on pronunciation.

Cantorion Y Gelli is excited to collaborate with Hay Castle this St David’s Day to bring you an evening of Welsh entertainment. The choir has a varied repertoire of traditional folk songs, hymns, male voice choir classics and even a football anthem! Come along and celebrate this very important day in the calendar and enjoy some good old-fashioned Welsh “hwyl”!

Celebrating print and paper, the first Hay Printers’ Fair will be held at Hay Castle on Saturday 11th April 2026.

There will be two floors of artists presenting an amazing array of work to buy, including letterpress, etching, wood engraving, lino cutting, paper marbling, illustration, book art and calligraphy.

There will be demonstrations on the day to enjoy too. Come and meet the artists and learn about their craft.


Entrance to the Castle is free on the day of the Fair.
