WOMAD 2012
The festival will have a maximum audience of 12,500 ticket holders, as well as approximately 3,000 children and
1,000 volunteers and staff on site each day. WOMAD NZ attracts hundreds of performers from all over the globe, with six outdoor stages; 30 hours of live music and over 80 food and craft stalls.
The Global Village
The Global Village is at the heart of the festival and is made up of stallholders trading a vast range of international food, beverages, arts and crafts. We aim to provide festival goers with a wide range of interesting and creative stalls, offering products of a high standard, with friendly and fun stall holders who enhance the WOMAD atmosphere.
The Global Village also provides an excellent platform for small and creative businesses and individuals to sell their wares and foods, exposing them to an audience of around 13,000 adults every day of this three-day extravaganza and the opportunity for a financially successful venture.
The selection process
Traders who have already attended WOMAD are not automatically accepted again. All applications are reviewed and considered. Building the Global Village from scratch each year allows us to maintain a variety of unique and interesting stalls, retain good quality products and food and keep the Global Village a fresh experience for the
WOMAD audience.

To create flow and balance, for logistical and design purposes WOMAD Global Village management reserves the right to reposition stalls and the general layout of Global Village as required, food stalls may be placed in either the Gables lawn, the Bowl area or main Global Village food area. Placement of stalls will be decided by WOMAD
NZ management and debate about this will not be entered into.
Fees and bond
Successful applicants will receive written confirmation around 31 October 2011. A contract will be sent with an invoice for the stall fee and bond. A bond of $200 has been introduced as a safeguard against stallholders leaving damaged and unclean sites. Once the vacated stall has been deemed clean and undamaged by WOMAD officials, the bond will be refunded. Receipts will be issued on request.
