31st March ~ 9th April, 2000

The Academi's Bay Lit 2000 was the first Literature Festival to be run across the whole of Cardiff Bay. During the weekend of 7th to 9th April, 2000 (and for much of the week before) visitors were able to experience poets, celebrities, authors, novelists, writers, painters, bands, pop stars, slams, stomps and performers celebrating the cutting edge of writing in the twenty-first century. This is the Capital of Wales - this is how we things got done.

Bay Lit 2000 was an outstanding success. The information here is kept on-line as an historical record: -

The Academi - The Welsh National Literature Promotion Agency & Society for Writers - hosts Bay Lit at a multiplicity of venues including the Norwegian Church, the Yardarm, The Point, The Sports Café, County Hall, The Baltimore, & Techniquest.

Be neat on your feet and take it all in with Saturday's Bay Lit Walk, stay up late stomping, hear the three best British women poets at a single event, rock with Caryl or pick and mix as you wish.

The Festival Office, open throughout the Bay Lit Festival, is situated at the Norwegian Church where you can eat, rest, drink and find out exactly what's going on.
