The World’s festival: WOMAD is a haven of musical insights and possibilities, crossing borders and languages to unite thousands in the joy of music without limits. An eclectic mix of talent, from newcomers to legends, unknowns to visionary songwriters will be making their way to the picturesque landscape of Charlton Park in Wiltshire. Expect a huge array of genres from R&B, rap, rock, blues, punk and jazz all the way to brass bands, Qawwali, mambo and flamenco.
And so much more to discover, from artists cooking up a storm at the Taste The World stage, treatments aplenty at the World of Wellbeing and WOMAD Spa, celebrating the spoken word at World of Words, science exploration at World of Physics and one of the very best children’s area at any festival at the World of Children – this year’s theme is Super Heroes and kids 13 and under go FREE.
WOMAD it is truly a universe of discovery.
