WOMAD x WELLINGTON CHOCOLATE FACTORY
This year, we’re adding a little extra sweetness to your WOMAD experience! As part of our OMV STEAM Lab programme, we’ve teamed up with Wellington Chocolate Factory to create a limited-edition WOMAD Aotearoa chocolate bar.
Banana, Cardamom & Coconut – Coconut Milk Chocolate (40% Cocoa)
Crafted from ethically sourced Pacific cocoa beans and made from bean to bar right here in Aotearoa, this special edition chocolate bar is inspired by the vibrant and diverse spirit of WOMAD. Available for purchase at the festival’s WO-Store, it’s a delicious way to take a taste of WOMAD home with you.
With every bar you buy there’s a chance to WIN two 3-day passes plus camping to WOMAD Aotearoa 2026! Simply find the code, scan, enter and you might get your hands on your very own WOMAD “golden tickets”!
