Hay Castle Trust is a registered charity that was formed in 2011 to preserve this historic site and provide a future of cultural enrichment, educational opportunities and community enjoyment. The vision was to renovate this beautiful building and make it safe and useable for current and future generations, creating a cultural space in the vibrant Book Town of Hay on Wye. 

“We are lucky to sit in the centre of this fantastic town with its busy, creative and entrepreneurial community which is also home to the Hay Festival. We aim to offer a welcoming and open space for people to enjoy the heritage and culture of this area and to support the community and visitors to continue bringing art, literature, heritage and culture to this amazing part of Wales.”
