“The results speak for themselves and we saw, when we were going around the mountain, every garden was packed,” she says, of the event, which ran from October 30 to November 8. “There were many people who had never been to Taranaki. I met people who had never even heard of Hāwera.” There were also twice as many tour groups compared with previous years and the report reveals 7066 adults attended the garden festival (5510 in 2019) and 5324 visitors were attracted to Taranaki for the event (3500 in 2019). Garnett says people from all over the nation were amazed by what they found. “They were really blown away. They couldn’t believe they hadn’t been here before and what it looked like – our New Plymouth foreshore, our galleries, our eateries and our 40 gardens.”

Porter and Smith couldn t be reached for comment on whether the past partnership could be rekindled. Mayor Neil Holdom said the cancellation showed Taft made the right decision to pull out, and hoped it would be able to reconnect with Womad International and develop a plan for 2022.

New Plymouth Mayor Neil Holdom is hopeful Taft and Womad International can restore the past relationship, so the trust can continue running Womad in New Zealand in the future. “That outcome will be the best for Womad in New Zealand and the best for Taranaki.” “We know they ve [Taft] got the magic, they know how to make it work, they ve got the support of the region.”

Womad will not be coming to New Zealand in 2021. But Womad International are pinning their hopes on returning to New Plymouth in 2022.
After months of speculation about its future, the 2021 Womad NZ festival has been cancelled. Womad International director Chris Smith said they had been unable to secure a partner to run next year’s March event, but he was adamant the three-day festival would return to New Plymouth’s TSB Bowl of Brooklands from 2022. “We believe that the right place for the Womad experience is still its home of the last 20 years ‘The Brooklands Bowl’, New Plymouth,” Smith said in a written statement.
