WOMAD

Camping is at the heart of the WOMAD Charlton Park experience for many festival goers. You'll find information here on the camping facilities at the event and some further options to bring a touch of luxury to your time in the heart of the English countryside.

We've got further information for those interested in Disabled Camping facilities and, for those looking for the alternative camping style, check out our Glamorous Camping Options to enhance your camping experience at Charlton Park. Stay in beautiful tipees and yurts at Hearthworks, get your own brightly coloured 'hobbit home' (as they like to be called) with Podpads, enjoy the new WOMAD camping or camp in style with Boutique Camping.

If you prefer to stay outside of the festival site then please head to VisitWiltshire for accommodation options in the surrounding area.

If you wish to camp in a larger group, you are of course free to do so in any of the public campsites.
• Due to limited space, 4 person tents will be the largest allowed with no provisions for awnings/extension tents to motor homes, campers/vans or tents. If this does not meet your access requirements please contact us directly.

Bringing Campervans into Disabled Camping We understand that some people would be unable to attend the festival without the use of their caravan/campervan. So that we can accommodate those people who it is essential for, we do ask people to think quite carefully about their needs before applying for a space.

There is also a general public camper and caravan field although these tickets are SOLD OUT.

Adapted showers will be available within the disabled camping area.
