We are very excited to announce that WOW! Fest – Walsall Outdoor Wonders Festival will return this July. Save the date for Friday 3 and Saturday 4 July 2026as Walsall Arboretum once again transforms into a vibrant celebration of outdoor dance and performance.
Now in its second edition, WOW! Fest is an exciting outdoor arts festival celebrating the very best dance and movement-based performances created in the Midlands. Across two days, the festival will bring together artists, communities and audiences of all ages for a weekend of inspiring, high-quality performances in the open air.
Alongside the performances, the festival will offer a range of wraparound activities designed to engage children, young people and families in creative movement, physical play and participatory experiences. Audiences will be invited to explore different performance spaces across the park, from pop-up stages to interactive community areas, turning the entire arboretum into a playground for imagination and movement.
We are also excited to begin working with schools and community groups on special performances for the Next Gen Stage, celebrating young talent and community creativity. Keep an eye on our social media as we will soon be introducing a brilliant line-up of regional professional companies, alongside special appearances, workshops and more.
All events will be free to attend at Walsall Arboretum. If you would like to get involved, please email hello@autindt.co.uk.
