What a weekend!

With another Wickham Festival behind us, we’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who joined us in Hampshire for Wickham Festival 2026. Whether you’ve been coming to Wickham for years or this was your first visit, it was wonderful to see so many smiling faces enjoying four days of fantastic live music, entertainment and festival fun.

Of course, Wickham Festival wouldn’t be possible without the enormous number of people who work behind the scenes. A heartfelt thank you goes to all our traders, stewards and volunteers, along with our production and site teams and everyone else who works so hard to turn a Hampshire field into Wickham Festival each summer.

It’s the people who make Wickham what it is – and we’re enormously grateful to every one of you.
