Retail Therapy in the Global Village / Wāhi Haumanu Hokohoko
Step inside the bustling marketplace of WOMAD and experience an explosion of delectable flavours, offbeat clothing and quirky trinkets.
At the Global Village you can eat, drink and shop your way around the world with close to 100 exciting stalls.
Overflowing with the energy of international markets, the retail area boasts an eclectic collection of treasures. You’ll find the best in festival fashion – everything from hats, scarves and henna tattooing to jewellery galore. Alongside the clothes and adornments, you’ll find ceramics, therapeutic oils, crystals and more.
Keep an eye out for the boutique stalls, which feature niche products like upcycled leather creations, woven shoes, hand-beaded heirloom jewellery, one-of-a-kind artworks – or have some fun and grab a lasting keepsake of your time at the festival with a hand-drawn caricature portrait!
