WOMAD is unique in so many ways and its independence from the big commercial promoters and incredible network of international events with local partners all over the world sets it apart from other festivals.
WOMAD has always been about connecting the world to the world, and in these difficult days of inward-looking nationalism and racism are on the rise, it believes the quiet underlying message of WOMAD needs to be heard, more than ever. Womad has been lined up at Charlton Park, Malmsbury from July 25 to 28. It had presented its 40th Annual Festival in 2022 after many festivals it planned in 2020 and 2021 were cancelled due to the pandemic Covid-19 that had shut down the world for over a year.
