EVENTS
Come and join us at one of our community events to discover more about plans for the site.
Upcoming events
We want the Hay Community Campus to be a space loved by residents, so your say really matters to us. We will be arranging a series of events throughout 2026 and would love to invite you to discuss the plans.
Hay Summer Show
DATE: 19 July 2026
LOCATION: Hay Summer Show
Come and visit our stall at the Hay Summer Show. We'll have the plans laid out so you can get a real sense of the space, and our team will be on hand to answer questions and listen.
We'll be offering up activities for children and would love to hear your thoughts about how you would make use of the proposed campus.
We'll also be bringing a bit of traditional show-style competition with a beanbag throwing game - so come along with your best shot!
Unveiling the Visuals
DATE: AUGUST (TBC)
LOCATION: TBC, HAY-ON-WYE
This two-day event will begin with an evening gathering, where the latest architect visuals will be unveiled and plans will be presented in-depth.
The second day will include site visioning activities - a relaxed, creative way to share your ideas, hopes and priorities for the site, whether that's the growing space, the sports facilities, the community building or something else entirely. There will be activities for children too, so bring the family. Your feedback on the day will directly inform the final plans, so come along, get involved, and help shape something that will serve Hay for generations to come.
Past Events
Easter Egg Hunt
DATE: 6 April 2026
LOCATION: HAY CASTLE

We had a wonderful time at this year's Easter Egg Hunt at Hay Castle, where we set up a hook-a-duck stall with a twist. Families who took part were invited to play along with a mapping game where they could share what they'd most love to see on the new campus.
It was a brilliant way to have a conversation with Hay residents - children and adults alike. Enthusiasm for the growing space, the swimming pool and the sports facilities came through strongly, and we're taking every response into the planning process.
Thank you to everyone who stopped to chat, duck rod in hand!
Let's Get Growing: Plant swap and starter giveaway
DATE: 26 April 2026
LOCATION: COMMUNITY GROWING SPACE,
FOREST ROAD
Cultivating Learning and Nature (CLAN) hosted a plant swap at the community growing space on the HADSCAL site. They offered out a Starter Growing pack for the season, containing compost, pots, seeds and instructions.
Children's activities were offered, making it a fun day out for all the family.
Hay Market: Sharing the Plans
DATE: 9 July 2026
LOCATION: HAY MARKET
We bought the most recent iteration of the plans to a busy market day to share them with residents. The reception was overwhelmingly positive.
“I’m so excited about this fabulous project,” one resident told us. “This facility would be a game-changer for me.” Another described the plans as “very impressive and encouraging,” while others summed it up more simply: “Such a cool idea,” and “This will be amazing.”
