Crowds enjoy music and atmosphere at WOMAD 2024
- Published
Festivalgoers have praised "the atmosphere" and "great music" on the third day of Wiltshire's biggest festival.
Artists Alison Goldfrapp and Deerhoof were among those performing at the World of Music, Arts and Dance Festival, which takes place at Charlton Park near Malmesbury until Sunday.
Beyond music, the festival is also known for its workshops and children's activities.
Simone Kruger-Bridge, who has been attending the event for the last 30 years, said: "We just love the atmosphere.
"We love the music, we love the multiculturalism and the cosmopolitanism."
Musician Peter Gabriel first started the event in 1982 at the Bath and West Showground to showcase music from around the globe.
WOMAD, which was attended by 40,000 people last year, has acts from all genres including hip-hop, blues and punk.
