Everyone loves the book festival, but the kids can suffer from mild cultural overload, so Giffords Circus is a great antidote to all those books. Clowns, horses and lots of old fashioned fun, we go back every year and just love it more and more.
If you are interested in books have a trip to Hay. You will find over 30 bookshops selling secondhand books. There are some great places to visit or stay. Try the Three Tuns or The Baskerville - I have stayed at both and they are excellent.
