WOMAD is the UK'S premier world music festival, inspired by Peter Gabrielle, WOMAD stands for World of Music, Arts and Dance, the festivals are held all over the world enabling audiences to gain an insight into other cultures through the medium of music.

It's a very friendly, safe and family orientated festival. There are seven indoor and outdoor stages and a capacity of about 20,000. There's a full programme of adult and children's workshops, a cabaret tent, DJ sessions and late live performance in Club WOMAD.

WOMAD does a great deal to aid understanding and bring into the consciousness the worth and value of living together in a multicultural society. This is a gentle, safe and highly recommended festival that just gets better every year- probably the best world music festival out there.

WOMAD is a festival that attracts a wide-ranging audience, from world music fans to people who just want to broaden their horizons and discover and experience new music and cultures.  Throughout its history WOMAD has also been at the forefront of accommodating families in an environment that is safe and secure, as well as being affordable.
