We always endeavour to respond to feedback and are trying some new ideas this year that have been suggested to us. This includes a brand new “Chill-Out Zone” with cocktail bar, deckchairs and hammocks! We’re hoping this will provide the perfect area to recharge your energy.

Wakey wakey Wickham
It’s exactly two weeks until the music starts!
For early risers, we’ll be opening the arena from 8am this year to weekend season ticket holders. There are breakfasts available plus some morning activities including yoga, Folk Orc workshops and informal ‘Meet the Artist’ sessions and workshops with the likes of Wizz Jones. This does not include Thursday morning, so those arriving on Wednesday can have a lie in after our free concert at The Wickham Centre or having a drink at the festival bars which will be open on Wednesday evening whilst we finish off the site build.

Way back before Covid The Song for Wickham was written by Steve Knightley to celebrate Wickham's 800th anniversary. Post-Covid Steve & Wickham's Community Choir performed the song at the 2022 Wickham Festival. Now you can buy the recording which is one of 12 fine tracks on Steve's The Winter Yards album.

Missed out on @oasis tickets? You can enjoy a full weekend of top quality music at #wickhamfestival instead... and tickets are a lot easier to book. Simply go to and save up to £100 on an Early Bird weekend ticket if you book now.
We've fewer than 100 'earlybird' weekend season tickets still available for Wickham 2025. At just £40 a day (£160 for the weekend) with no added booking fees, they're the Festival bargain of the summer so don't delay. Prices have to rise next weekend.
