In a statement issued recently, Womad organisers have said that their UK festival is moving to a new home, not far from their site for the past 17 years at the Charton Park Estate in Malmesbury Wiltshire.
The statement goes on to say that, ‘to ensure that the festival can continue to thrive for years to come in our new location, we have decided to take a year off in 2025 before returning fully charged in 2026.’
As an international promoter, over the next 12 months, there will be number of WOMAD festivals around the world including WOMADelaide, WOMAD New Zealand and WOMAD Cáceres with plans for further events in Las Palmas, Brazil and Chile. The organisation also say that they are ‘exploring a special UK event for next year to deliver a taste of the unique WOMAD experience– hopefully to be announced in the coming weeks.’
