I enjoyed the festival, and it was very well run, however I had our tickets cheap. I would not pay £250 inc camping, it's not worth the price.
The men they couldn’t hang n swill better be back then I’m on
I will now plan to be back for Wickham next year
Please sell evening tickets! βοΈπ
What's this bird thing you speak off?

Sent my cheque. Heard nothing yet. Confirmations soon? π
Hi I’ve bought 3x early bird tickets £420 . Your selling them for £130 each. £390. Have I been had. ?

Thank you to Peter Chegwyn and the whole team for putting on another great festival. For me, my favourite acts were: Grace Petrie, Spooky Men, Dhol Foundation plus Johnny Kalsi DJ set, Saw Doctors (unexpectedly good – never seen them before), Longest Johns – got to have them back again! Bar Steward Sons of Val Doonican, Lil’ Jimmy Reed, Show of Hands, Slambovian Circus of Dreams – probably the most outstanding and surprising band of the whole festival! For the future – all of the above will be great to welcome back. And Frank Turner if you can get him again, Boo Hewerdine – with a band, with someone else, or even on his own. Always good value. And how about David Ford? I don’t think he has been before but would love to see him. And a huge thank you to Steve Knightly and all who helped to put together the Song for Wickham. It was beautiful and very moving. A real anthem for the village and lovely for the whole audience to join in with.
It was great ! but it is now so big it needs a real open air stage !! was cramed into those marqee,s watching bands !! real stage next years PLEASE !!
Scott Doonican You made it into the video ... π Thanks, Wickham Festival team, it was a blast, cannot wait till next year ... β€
A week on and still buzzing! Discovered the The Saw Doctors and can’t get the N17 ear worm outta my head ππ

My new favourite band! Saw them at Cropredy this weekend too. I then bumped into Sharkey and RJ on the field yesterday, they were enjoying the festval, and they spoke very highly of their experience at Wickham too.
My discovery of the festival. They are absolutely brilliant, totally got me (and the lady wife!).
Not even heard of this band, but am now following them,great performance ,definately one of my highlights x
Absolutely brilliant. Hill Billy Pink Floyd. Please invite them back.
Great band, one of many highlights ππ€
I couldn't decide what I made of them I initially. Then after three or four songs I think I decided I liked them. They were perplexing π. But overall, yeah..... pretty good. I'd definitely watch them again π
Tans Slambovian bio polar express π
Brilliant really loved their sound
Loved them at Wickham. Once I find out where Slambovia is I'm going to pay a visit π
Enjoyed their set but it was loud!

And we're off! Site completely cleared in 4 days. Now back to its natural state of very parched grass. But, oh, what wonderful memories we have of our best-ever Wickham Festival. Thank you one and all. We'll do it all again next year, Aug. 3-6. 'Earlybird' tickets now onsale via www.wickhamfestival.co.uk/tickets ... See MoreSee Less
Should add that not a speck of litter was left behind thanks to Smudger's amazing litter-picking crew.
It was fantastic and no trouble at all and I live right across from it! Well done to all of you, look forward to next year x
I walked past yesterday. We love having such a great festival within walking distance of our house and also nice to see it back to normal.
Thanks for all the effort you put in. Much appreciated π it wouldn't be here without your good self taking the time to stage it. Great times and memories. Fortunate to see both sides of the festival
Was great fun. Thank you. Tickets bought for next year already.
Really enjoyed and have purchased my early bird tickets for 2023 ππ
Well done Wickham gang!!! At least you don't have to contend with discarded tents etc as per Glastonbury!
Thank you for another brilliant festival,have already purchased tickets for next year. xx
Was great thanks to all who make this festival work so well
Absolutely loved it. First time we've been. Great bands, especially the Saw Doctors, but I'm a little biased, and everything was so well organised, including the weather π
A wonderful weekend, thank you everyone so much. You were all amazing.
Amazing weekend thanks for the fun, laughter and music
Thanks to all involved. Loved our tent neighbours who were litter pickers from aardvark. Cheque in post for 2023. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!
The breakdown is the hard bit - adrenaline doesn't pump in quite the same way as on build-up. But four days.... wow!!! Get some serious Zzzzs.
It was brilliant, saw lots of old friends and made more new one,see you next year.
Thanks so much everyone who made Wickham Festival a fantastic Event to attend see you all next year ! x
What a fantastic festival - looking forward to next year with Claire Hartt-Palmer, Paul Jerome, Alison Jerome, Deanna Gaze, Mark Gaze and many others!
Thank you Wickham, thank you artistes, See you next year
Brilliant! Well done to everyone - it was an amazing weekend! Do you have a list of any ‘left behind’ items? One of my friends lost a bunch of keys and would love to be reunited with them!!
Great festival. Thanks for all your hard work.
Fabulous festival, thanks very much! πππ Look forward to it next year! πππ
So much happiness right there β€οΈ Next year…
Very impressed with the infrastructure of the show. Such hard work by all. If I have one complaint, it's that the portaloos in the campervan field weren't replenished with paper and sanitizer as often as I was told. I had my own facilities but occasionally used the public ones and took my own supplies. Just a thought.
Thank you for another fab weekend π
One word…… AMAZING…. Booked for next year!!
