Wakey wakey Wickham

Posted on 20th July 201721st July 2017 by Peter Chegwyn

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.

Yoga will take place at 10am – 11am Friday, Saturday & Sunday.

Please note that camping tickets are sold out although there are still some very limited 6 person glamping tents available here:

For those who enjoy Shanty singing, we’ve three groups of Shanty singers on Saturday afternoon; Shirley Knot, Alternative Quay, and Portsmouth Shanty Men. Plus traditional Morris Dancers on Saturday & Sunday afternoons.

We're sorry to report that London Irish band Neck will no longer be appearing at Wickham following the sad death of their frontman Leeson O'Keeffe from pancreatic cancer. 😢

Steve Harley was an audience favourite at Wickham Festival, and a delight to work with. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
