WOMAD NZ takes place from 12 to 14 March 2027 in New Plymouth’s Brooklands Park, including the Bowl of Brooklands. Plan your festival tickets and accommodation separately.
Start with your festival plans
Use the official WOMAD NZ website for tickets, the programme and visitor arrangements. Decide which days you will attend before choosing your accommodation arrival and departure dates.
A three-day event can mean several different travel plans within one group. Some guests may arrive before the first day, while others join later or leave after the final programme. Agree on the nights you need together and enter the full guest count when checking a property. That gives you a useful comparison of the whole stay.
Match your group to the beds
| Property | Start your comparison here |
|---|---|
| Sunrays Stay | Up to five guests. Consider it for a smaller group sharing a New Plymouth base. |
| Te Henui Outlook | Up to six guests in a three-bedroom home. Check the bed arrangements for your party. |
| Residence Seven | Up to eight guests in Fitzroy, with three bedrooms and a sofa bed. The apartment is over two levels. |
A maximum guest count is the starting point. Agree who will share rooms, who needs a separate sleeping space and whether anyone will use a sofa bed. Our family and group accommodation guide gives you a practical way to compare layouts.
View Residence Seven’s layout and booking calendar or check Te Henui Outlook for your group. Book the property that fits your routines as well as your headcount.
Plan each journey to Brooklands Park
Use the event’s arrival and transport information for the entrance you need. A route to Pukekura Park is not automatically the same as the route to a WOMAD gate. Save the event entrance, your accommodation address and your return plan before setting out.
- Allow time to collect everyone and leave the property ready for your return.
- Agree whether your group will travel together or finish at different times.
- Check event parking, bus or pickup arrangements when they are published.
- Keep a charged phone and an agreed meeting point for the end of the day.
- Follow the event’s guidance on bags, food and items you can bring.
If you want to explore the park on another day, our Pukekura Park map guide helps you plan a separate visit. Keep event transport decisions tied to the WOMAD information for your actual dates.
Leave room for a restful stay
After a full day of music and activities, simple arrangements make coming home easier. Sort out sleeping spaces before you leave, plan breakfast supplies and keep your check-in details available. Read the property’s house rules and departure instructions with the whole group.
Residence Seven includes a full kitchen and laundry facilities, useful if those are priorities for your trip. Sunrays Stay accommodates up to five guests. Compare the individual property details before booking, including check-in times and cancellation conditions.
Adding a day either side gives you time for the coast or a relaxed city outing. Our things to do in New Plymouth guide can help you shape that extra day around your energy and the weather.
