Womad Charlton Park

WOMAD stands for World of Music, Arts and Dance, expressing the central aim of the WOMAD festival—to bring together and to celebrate many forms of music, arts and dance drawn from countries and cultures throughout the world. Since 1982, the festival has always been a wonderful and unique occasion to introduce an international audience to many talented artists. As an organisation, WOMAD now works in many different ways, but their aims are always the same—at festivals, performance events, through recorded releases and through educational projects, they seek to excite, to inform, and to create awareness of the worth and potential of a multicultural society. In its 25th year, WOMAD has moved from its long-term home in Reading to a larger venue at Charlton Park in Wiltshire.

To raise awareness about renewable energy sources WOMAD festival as part of its greening initiative will arrange for festival-goers to recharge their mobile phones using wind power. The wind-powered turbine will be installed at the festival site.
