However, you can still enjoy some aspects of it, and maybe plan a trip to coincide with it, on their rather nifty website (no, it's not a Wordpress clone, it was designed and hand coded apparently). I am always struck by the sheer volume of new work that I will never be able to sample without driving myself to the verge of financial ruin, so one feature I found particularly interesting was the Hay 21 - which highlights 21 new writers to celebrate the Festival's 21st birthday.
