Last spring, an unusual and exciting event came to Hay’s best-loved landmark.
The Library of Mistakes and Hay Castle held the first 'Weekend of Mistakes’. It featured a first-class line-up of historians, economists, financial experts, and investment sages. Speakers and attendees were invited to look at the past, and especially its recurring mistakes, follies and manias to better understand the present.
We welcomed a varied audience: students, investment industry professionals, and those with a general interest in the history of finance, business, and economics. There was something for everyone. Locals—and others from as far afield as Hungary, Canada, the USA (and even the Cayman Islands!)—joined us at the Castle for an immersive, enlightening, and fun weekend.
‘This was a Glastonbury for financial historians – there was just a little mud, and the only drug was caffeine, but minds expanded all the same! Can’t wait for Weekend of Mistakes 2025 to turn on, tune in, and drop out to the blasts from the past that seem to echo down the ages!’
Russell Napier, Keeper of the Library of Mistakes
