NESTON PARK

WELCOME TO OUR NEW HOME!

Neston Park, North Wiltshire. Grab a sneak peek below!

A few words from our founder, Peter Gabriel:

“Well, here we are again! I’m delighted to say that WOMAD is officially back. 

We’re back and in a beautiful new home; Neston Park near our own base in Real World Studios. We have looked at many wonderful sites around the country, but when we learned that Sir James and Lady Venetia Fuller were keen to open up their beautiful estate and host WOMAD, it immediately felt to us like a warm and welcoming home into which we could sink our roots.

While we’ve been away, all the team have been working away regenerating our beloved festival and poring over your extensive feedback - and finding so many great suggestions. Its brilliant to have an audience that cares so much about what WOMAD is, could be, and stands for.

In a world in which many bad actors seem to be achieving power by fanning the flames of hatred, racism and division, a meeting place for all the world’s cultures and dreams, built on mutual respect, seems all the more precious.

Thankyou for being there.
