1st-4th Aug. Wickham, Hampshire. Voted the UK's Best Small Festival. Click the photo to enlarge. Please 'Like' & 'Share'. Cheaper per day than Camp Bestival; Cambridge; Cornbury; Cropredy; Larmer Tree and the Isle of Wight Festivals... and with a great line-up on four stages. www.wickhamfestival.co.uk
Would love to but realise we are in Scotland that week - running around the forests orienteering! You will have to enjoy it for me! X
That is a belting line up. Frank Turner, Alabama 3 (full band or Sound system? Either is good), Afro Celt Sound System, Proclaimers, Dreadzone, 3 Daft Monkies, BSSOVD (ooerr!) Well done the booking team.
Half way down the post, below the headline acts is this guy, who I have loved since the 1980s https://youtu.be/wzHSJSJ_ias
Better line up then Larmer Tree Festival !! In my opinion
Scott have you announced this yet? I’ve lost track. 😂
Never seen The Proclaimers live.
The ‘Kiefer Sutherland Band’? Fuck off! Make it on merit not on your celebrity in another field!
All booked.. do we leave on a Monday?
Hope to see Big Brother Soul again, they were one of last years highlights x
