WOMAD festival early-bird tickets have sold out for the first time, however, the organisers have put on a Christmas offer releasing more tickets at a reduced price.

For the 12 days of Christmas , starting Monday, December 23 to Friday, January 3, The World of Music, Arts and Dance festival at Charlton Park, near Malmesbury, has 50 extra tickets a day available at the reduced early-bird prices.

This allows enthusiasts to purchase a weekend ticket for £135 instead of £160.
