Accommodation is often hard to find during the Hay Festival and many of hotels and B&Bs are booked up early in some cases more that a year in advance.   However there is a bedfinder service which will help you to find accommodation for a registration fee of £10. Places to stay can also be found through the Hay-on-Wye tourist information site www.hay-on-wye.co.uk.

In recent years camping has become more and more popular with two campsites close to the festival site, Tangerine Fields Camping  www.tangerinefields.co.uk and Wye Meadow Camping www.peak-performance-consultancy.com/haycamping.
