We’ve just added a site map page illustrating the new layout for Wickham Festival 2018. Please note we have TWO main stages this year. Main Stage 1 has been re-named The Valley Stage as it’s closest to the Meon Valley. Our new enlarged Main Stage 2 has been named The Village Stage as it’s closer to Wickham village.

Great opportunity to see a true, true legend. A word that is often used to describe very big but not legendary names.
Graham Nash, oh I can't wait !! 👍👍😎 xxxxx
Angela Hamilton
Can't wait to see him.
Presenting... our beautiful new environmentally-friendly vacuum loos that will be in our VIP Area this year. And we're installing more luxury loos on our campsites. And we've extra service teams to keep them clean at all times 🙂
Better loos than New Day then!
Great work guys x
More toilets in the main area would be good too!
Please reserve me a front row seat😁👍
A few more showers would be good too.
You need a few of these around the site Peter...........
That's a relief 😁
Big Screens! In response to many requests we'll have big video screens in both our main Big Tops this year, giving you an even better view of all our great artists.
Great! Another vertically challenged regular who you have made very happy!
Brilliant!!
This is the festival that keeps on giving! Still shoehorning in quality bands at this late stage(Holy Moly) and now big screens!
I can't wait for my first Wickham fest - it's been WOMAD for over 20 years, thought I'd have a change. ... bring it on! 😊 🎵
Excellent!
Hurray hurray!!
Hi Wickham are you still allowing people to take up all the room with their camping chairs in the big top ?
Great idea. Those of us who are vertically challenged salute you!
Thank God you didn't last year!! My arse is big enough and so did not be need to be on the big screen too. Pretty sure they could see it way outside the big top!
What about a VIP area in both main tents? Given the increase in price from last year (£60 up to £80?)
Roughly how many people come to this festival ?
I'm sure there were big screens last year?
Is this the real reason that you have had your eyes upgraded to HD 😨
Less than six weeks to the start of this year's Wickham Festival. Who are you looking forward to seeing this year? Check out our website at www.wickhamfestival.co.uk/line-up for details of who's on when.
