Rhythms of the World returns to the grounds of The Priory, Hitchin in June.

Led entirely by volunteers, Rhythms of the World (ROTW) is a registered charity that aims to unite diverse communities through music and the arts. They achieve this by organising a range of cultural events, culminating in an annual festival of world music, dance, arts and cuisine in Hitchin, Hertfordshire.

The Rhythms of the World festival has evolved into one of the most significant, and best value, world music festivals in the UK, attracting up to 30,000 visitors to the two-day event. People of all ages and backgrounds come from Hertfordshire and beyond to see local community talent perform alongside artists from around the world.
