WOMAD

Our World Renowned Events

Not all our events may be as highly acclaimed as WOMAD - arguably the best World Music festival in the whole world - but we do have some absolute crackers on the schedule.

 

Take a look at our calendar below to get an idea of what's coming up for us all to enjoy.

WOMAD - for those who aren't yet aware - is a festival for the entire family and is just a longish morning's walk from town in mid-summer. 

EVENT LISTINGS

FEATURED MAIN EVENTS

WHISTLEBLOWERS

What does it take to speak out? A mixed media show by artist Alex Knell asks this - and other - questions. The show depicts UK whistleblowers - including David Kelly - who have exposed corporate malpractice, systemic failures, fraud or abuse of power.
