Wickham Festival 2023 Arrival Information
The stage is set! The Big Tops are up. All we need now is our audience! If you’re travelling to Wickham this weekend we hope the following information is useful.
For Sat Nav use PO17 5HD. Click here for Google Maps.
All our campsites open from 10am Wednesday. Please do not arrive before 10am as we don’t want to clog up the road network for miles around. On arrival at Wickham please follow the signs for ‘Caravans/Motorhomes Camping’, ‘Tented Camping’, ‘Disabled Camping’ and ‘Mixed Camping’ (for people wishing to camp together in both tents and vehicles). The weather forecast for Wednesday is not great and we’ve already had a lot of rain on our fields so it may take a little longer than usual to position everyone on our camping fields. Please bear with us if you have to wait a little while. Our volunteer stewards will do their best to get everyone in as quickly as possible.

We are pleased to say that performance times for all four stages have now been added to our website and can be viewed in our line up section. We’ve tried our best to avoid clashes between similar artists.
We’re delighted to announce our Late-Night Comedy line-up for this year’s Wickham Music Festival
We’re delighted to confirm that comedy is returning to Wickham Festival for 2023. This will start after music on the main stages finishes at 23.00. Mike Cox will be the MC for all nights on our comedy stage (Thursday through to Saturday). Mike has been performing comedy since 2011 and quickly made his mark on the comedy scene with his sharp-witted observational style which saw him crowned South Coast Comedian of the Year in 2014.

We'll be announcing another top-class artist tomorrow (Thursday) for our 2025 Wickham Festival (31 July to 3 August 2025). A household name, a UK singer who's had 6 x Top 10 albums and 10 x Top 10 singles plus 2 American No. 1's. Any guesses?
