Thank You for an Amazing Wickham Festival 2026 – and Save £100 on 2027 Earlybird Tickets

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.

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.

    Prices were due to rise by now but many people have been away at other festivals or on holiday so we've extended the deadline for Tier 1 Earlybird tickets to the end of August.
