WOMAD is more than just music! There’s plenty for you to discover on site, so don’t miss these installations, site performances and activations. Parent Hub Photo: Jane Dove Juneau It’s no secret WOMAD is a family friendly festival, and thanks to the Taranaki District Health Board the Parent Hub offers a comfy place to feed babies and put your feet up. There are also midwives available to discuss any questions you have about your baby, one that’s planned, or one that’s on the way! Plus information about breastfeeding, immunisation, safe sleep practices and more. Photo: Dominika Zielinska Look out for the symbol on the map for the Hub’s location.
