Charlton Park is delighted to announce that WOMAD (World of Music, Arts and Dance), has confirmed its wish to host the 26th WOMAD Festival in the Estate grounds during 2008.

WOMAD Charlton Park will welcome an audience of 35,000, together with over seventy world-class artists from forty different countries. Each and every musical experience at the festival will be offered in its own special space – from main stage and high profile, to intimate and troubadour acoustic.

Alongside the new attractions of Charlton Park, WOMAD’s familiar feast of entertainment and celebration will remain: brilliant live music; weekend camping; a full programme of participatory workshops for adults and children; Taste The World cookery sessions; late night dance, DJ’s and grooves at Club WOMAD; relaxed entertainment on Thursday evening; a children’s procession on Sunday; a chance to ‘shop around the world’ at over 250 international food, drink, arts, craft and merchandise stalls in the Global Village; sumptuous site decoration featuring hundreds of flags, projections, visual art and temporary structures.

For tickets and further details, please visit the WOMAD website or telephone 0870-751 96623.

We have also a new feature for 2008 - Deluxe Camping in a New VIP Area right next to the festival site but within the walled Gardens. Click here for more info.
