The map is up on the website here or shown below. No notice, just found it whilst exploring, hope it helps with planning. Seems that it is only the Big Red and D&B has merged. Very happy to see Ecotricity and Charlie Gillett are still there.  |

The other less noticeable change is that, although the Charles Gillett stage is still there, it is only he Charlie Gillet stage and not the BBC3 stage as well. The withdrawal of the BBC appears to have had a big impact on the overall schedule.

the map is a bit more cartoony this year which makes working out he layout a bit harder
We also wish they move the real ale tent to the centre of the site to cut down on the walking Del has to do to get an ale

Something not noticed before - donation points located at the entrance and exits.
It might be for charitable donations (green peace or Oxfam?). But, do worry that Womad uk is struggling financially and may be looking to punters to help with any funding gaps (rather than just relying on the generosity of Peter Gabriel)

Have also noticed a few more changes:
The appearance of "The Dining Room" opposite the Open Air Stage
The toilet block by the Big Red has gone and the nearest are by the Golden Lion now, guessing they are merging both into one larger block
Disco Bear has moved to the other side of the Big Red where the Fairground usually is and looks like the Fairground is moving next to the Golden Lion
Extinction Rebellion have a dedicated area by the East Arena entrance, opposite the All Singing All Dancing and World Rhythms tents

Just worked out that the donation points are for car parking, £5 to off set carbon emissions and make the festival greener.

why is there a speed camera near the disco bear? I thought it was a washing machine!  Anyway, donation points? Well I'm coming by train so 'am a good girl'! I noticed the Big Red Tent had gone, but if the kind of music is combined with B&D, then that, hopefully should cover it... Did you notice the Extinction Rebellion spot by All Singing and Dancing tents? Hope we don't get harangued, but I'd be very interested in what they have to say. And Artisan Market and Dining Room? Dining Room would be useful if it's wet or cold - better than sitting on the ground in those conditions. Things need to change at Festivals, if it was the same every year, it would be a bit too predictable. There's enough regular features and venues to keep us happy. |

Although the artisan market is probably nothing new, the dining room is and possibly a first for large festivals generally. An area to sit and eat your phone in shade from sun or rain (whether bought on site or not). Shows womad have listened and provided something that does not require a purchase in advance. |
