Building Wickham Festival

It is a huge task to set up the Wickham Festival

Have you ever wondered what goes into setting up the Wickham Festival? By the time campers arrive on the Wednesday at noon, everything has to be in place for them.

When the gates open on Thursday afternoon, all the traders will be set up, the catering provided, the stages built and the Moose Bar and Real Ale bar ready to serve.

All the electrics are done and the safety certificates sorted, the stewarding ready thanks to countless volunteers.

Music Scene Magazine have gone behind the scenes to provide an insight into everything that takes place before the fans arrive.
