Festival Stage Times Announced…

We are pleased to say that all performance times on both our main stages have now been added to our website and can be viewed in our line up section. We really do feel this is our strongest ever line up with so many incredible and diverse artists performing.  We’ve tried to avoid clashes between similar artists as much as possible.

We’ve also listed details of all the comedians performing at Wickham Festival 2019 on our late night comedy page.  This starts after the music ends at 23.30 on Thursday, Friday & Saturday. We have two other stages organised by our friends of Quay West Studios fame. You can see the line up for all stages, and print your own itinerary on Clashfinder.

If you’re arriving early (and we hope you do) our campsites will open from 12 noon on Wednesday 31st July. As before there will be a free concert for early arrivals from 7.30pm Wednesday (doors open at 7pm) at the Wickham Community Centre, Mill Lane, Wickham featuring Alistair Russell, Rachel Newton, Alan Burke and The Rowan Godel Trio. Before the festival starts the following morning Oysterband’s John Jones and his Reluctant Ramblers have organised a gentle stroll through the Hampshire countryside arriving at the Festival in time for all the late afternoon and evening music? All are welcome. Click here for details. What a way to start your festival weekend. An extra day to your break and all at no additional cost.

Now you can buy the recording which is one of 12 fine tracks on Steves The Winter Yards album.Image attachmentImage attachment
