The wonder of words
This year's World of Words is bigger and better than ever. We're just going to throw some words at you to give you a flavour; love letters, song writing, political activism, art library, masterclasses, Taiwan, poetry, books (human and otherwise). Check the full programme on our website.
Taste the wine
Find out more about the story of a 37 year old man from Dorset setting sail for Australia in 1847 and how that relates to this year's Taste the World stage. Spoiler alert - there's wine involved!
All roads lead to WOMAD
If you're coming by train to WOMAD, we are running shuttle buses from both Chippenham and Kemble train stations, plus a regular shuttle bus runs between Malmesbury town centre and the festival site. Timetables are all available on our website. Or you could consider lift sharing with Go Car Share.
