WOMAD

WOMAD at Bristol Zoo. Saturday 30 June 2012. 6-11pm

Yes the rumours are true. WOMAD at Bristol Zoo is back for just one day in 2012.

Chris Smith, WOMAD Festivals Director, said:

“It's all about the penguins... And of course the fact that it was so good last year that we had to come back. We always thought that bringing artists and animals from all over the world together would work, and the Zoo is such a fantastic location we had to come back this year.”

He added:
“Bristol Zoo and WOMAD have much in common, we both celebrate what the world has to offer, whether it be through "wild" music or wildlife and we both work tirelessly to share our passion with a wider audience. Bring your families and friends for an unforgettable day with WOMAD, Bristol Zoo and of course those penguins.”

Again, we're dead pleased to be working with a first class establishment with so many achievements under its belt. Saving over 175 species from extinction, establishing over 30 field conservation and research programmes all over the world really does deserve a handshake.

Funds raised from the event will support Bristol Zoo's conservation work and EAZA's South East Asia campaign.
