Womad festival, the global music festival co-founded by Peter Gabriel, is to return in 2026 at a new venue.

The festival took a year off in 2025 in order to “return fully charged”, and left its home of Charlton Park, Wiltshire, where it had been held since 2007. Its new venue remains in Wiltshire, at nearby Neston Park in Corsham.
