Welcome to The Globe at Hay

Welcome to The Globe at Hay, where creativity, community, and sustainable local living come together under one roof. At the heart of who we are is our 100-acre farm in the Welsh mountains, a place that inspires our values and enriches our restaurant with truly local produce.

Step inside and you’ll find a vibrant, inclusive space celebrating every form of creative expression. From engaging poetry readings to inspiring children’s workshops, from video art and philosophical talks to live music and comedy, The Globe is a lively hub where culture thrives and curiosity leads the way. Here, ideas are welcomed, voices are heard, and creativity is always encouraged.

Supporting our Community

Community comes first at The Globe. Whether it’s through our farm, our partnerships with local suppliers, or our community-led events, we’re committed to championing the people, talent, and spirit of Hay-on-Wye and its surrounding hills. When you visit us, you support a place that proudly invests back into its roots. Explore our community page

As the home of the Institute of Art and Ideas, a charitable organisation dedicated to free thinking, creativity, and open debate, The Globe stands as a beacon for those who want to explore, question, discuss, and challenge. This is a place where dialogue becomes a catalyst for positive change and where imagination is not only encouraged but celebrated.
