Festival by Day, Wilderness by Night

Just 10 minutes from the festival sites, tucked below Hay Bluff and Lord Hereford’s Knob, Tregoyd Estate offers the ultimate base for two of the UK’s most exciting cultural gatherings.

This May, Hay-on-Wye comes alive with not one, but two world-class festivals:

• Hay Festival (22 May – 1 June) – with a glittering line-up including Michael Sheen, Jameela Jamil, Grayson Perry, and Yulia Navalnaya.

• HowTheLightGetsIn – the world’s largest philosophy and music festival, where debates, ideas, and live music flow side by side.

While our holiday cottages with wood-fired hot tubs are already fully booked for this year, Tregoyd is perfectly placed for future festival-goers who want the best of both worlds: festival by day, wilderness by night. As part of a Dark Sky Reserve, the estate is ideal for stargazing after a day of culture and conversation.

Planning ahead? We’re now taking enquiries for 2026. Beat the rush and secure your peaceful retreat early.
