The festival season has just about ended for this year but next year's smart festival organisers are planning well in advance, giving you a chance to save money.

WOMAD (World Of Music And Dance) festivals are always exciting events and 2009's weekend was just that: Ethiopiques, Solomon Burke, Peter Gabriel and Oumou Sangere were just some of the attractions at this year's shindig.

Anyway, the line up for 2010 will be announced at a later date - meanwhile you can buy 2010 tickets from Friday 30th October (9AM) onwards AND save money as well (limited tickets - valid until Dec 16th - or until the tickets have gone!). Weekend tickets will therefore cost £125, a decent price when you consider that the performers have travelled from halfway around the world to come and perform for you! The festival itself is very family-friendly and peaceable, so why not consider it a destination for next Summer.

The place? Well, that's the same as last year as well - Charlton Park near Malmesbury in Wiltshire.

The weekend for the 2010 WOMAD is July 23rd to July 25th. Enjoy.
