About the Globe
An independent arts centre embracing an ever-changing arts landscape.
The Globe is located in the renowned book town of Hay on Wye. Nestled between the Powys and Herefordshire border, Hay on Wye is an area of outstanding natural beauty, and a rich cultural heritage.
What Makes up The Globe?
We run a wide range of events, including live music, film screenings, debates, workshops and much more! Want to run your own event? Our various spaces are highly versatile and available for private hire!
The Globe at Hay is a licensed wedding venue! From al-fresco gatherings to majestic ceremonies, couples have ample choice when staging their happily ever after.
You will find our cosy and welcoming café and bar, run in collaboration with our Burger Me Restaurant. Our talented Head Chef has specially created a variety of delicious dishes guaranteed to get your taste buds tingling.
Right on the doorstep of the Globe is our Stay in Hay cottage. With three bedrooms, there is room for up to six guests to find a little piece of rustic bliss in one of the UK’s most desirable towns.
Our Mission
Serving the local community is integral to our mission here at The Globe. We hope to curate a safe space for expression and culture to thrive in Hay-on-Wye and ensure that being based rurally is no barrier to exceptional events.
But don't take it from us - take it from our staff! We asked members of the Globe team what they think our aim is:
HowTheLightGetsIn Festival
The Globe is proud to have been the birthplace of the internationally renowned music and philosophy festival HowTheLightGetsIn, which first opened its doors to the public here.
Whilst it has since outgrown our space, moving down the riverbank of the Wye River, we are pleased to say that we maintain a strong relationship with the festival under our shared Founder, Hilary Lawson.
