We are very excited to announce that WOW! Fest – Walsall Outdoor Wonders is returning this July. Save the date for Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th July 2026 as Walsall Arboretum once again transforms into a vibrant celebration of outdoor dance and performance.
Now in its 2nd edition, WOW! Fest is an exciting outdoor arts festival celebrating the very best dance and movement-based performances created in the Midlands. Across 2 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 workshop activities designed for 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 dozens of schools and community groups on special performances for the Next Gen Stage, celebrating young local talent and their creativity. Keep an eye on our social media as we will soon be introducing a brilliant line-up of professional companies, alongside special appearances, workshops and more.
All events will be free to attend at Walsall Arboretum.
