WOMAD New Zealand 2012 16-18 March 2012
Brooklands
& TSB Bowl, New Plymouth is gorgeous parkland at the heart of
Taranaki, New Zealand- a lake mirroring its leafy surroundings, trees
cascading green offer delicious shade and little nooks and crannies to
explore. We are so lucky to say that this luscious scene is also home to
WOMAD New Zealand and 2012 will be more beautiful and better than ever!

more enjoyable. Seniors will be able to access elevated viewing
platforms at the three main stages. Thanks TSB Bank - we know the
seniors really benefit from your support.

There's something for everyone in the WOMAD store the only difficulty is deciding which souvenir you will take home with you.

Zero waste
Zero
Waste is a powerful concept that challenges old ways of thinking and
inspires new attitudes and behaviour. It is a multi-faceted approach,
integrating the four R's of waste minimisation (reduce, reuse, recycle
and rethink), to conserve the Earth's limited resources.
