Philosophy Meets Art at HowTheLightGetsIn Festival

Want to feed your mind and soul this May Bank Holiday? Just a 50-minute drive from Lucksall Holiday Park, the HowTheLightGetsIn Festival in Hay-on-Wye (HR3 5BZ) is where it’s all happening – and trust us, it’s no ordinary weekend.

Think Big, Dance Hard

Dubbed ‘the world’s largest philosophy and music festival’, this mind-expanding celebration brings together 350 performers, 300 events, and 12 unique stages for four unforgettable days from 23^rd – 26^th May. Whether you’re into thought-provoking debates, live music, comedy, cabaret, or even a riverside disco, there’s something for everyone.

Set against the charming backdrop of Hay-on-Wye, nestled at the foot of the Black Mountains, the festival is as much about atmosphere as it is ideas. Picture yourself soaking in the sunshine, surrounded by creatives, thinkers, and curious minds, all sparking conversations and enjoying good vibes by the river.
