The festival artists who will be holding cooking demonstrations at Nova Energy Taste The World hosted by Jax Hamilton have also been announced.

Womad has also released the schedule for the new festival feature, the World of Words plus the Kidzone schedule.

Building on the success of the Oyster and Bubbles bar in 2016, the Gables House Lawn will again be transformed into an intimate space for those looking to indulge in some fine hors d'oeuvres and wine.
