The last ten years have seen dramatic changes in what we expect from summer festivals. Not so long ago the choices were limited to tunnelling under the fence at Glastonbury, or champagne and warbling for a privileged few at Glyndebourne. But each year brings a plethora of new and innovative festivals, and now for the more cerebral festival-goer there is the Prospect sponsored How The Light Gets In, the UK's first philosophy and music festival which starts this Friday at Hay and runs until 31st May.
After putting the world to rights, guests can relax in the evenings when the music starts, with everything from indie folk to Afro-Celt fusion and reggae. Click here for more details.
