Half price tickets for NHS Staff

To show our gratitude to all NHS staff we’re offering them half price tickets. They’ve just gone on sale this morning on our tickets page. If purchasing these tickets please bring your NHS Photo ID with you to the Festival.

Over the last year we’ve all seen what an incredible job our NHS staff have done in responding to the worst pandemic in a century. The intensive care nurses and doctors, the paramedics, the therapists, the porters, the cleaners, the entire team across the National Health Service have had a difficult year and shone throughout. To show our appreciation we think this is the least they deserve.

We’d love to extend the offer to all caring services and all essential workers but with the best will in the world we sadly don’t have the capacity to do so, or to make the offer retrospective for those who’ve already bought tickets. We’re sorry we can’t please everyone but we do want to say “Thank You” to all who’ve worked so hard during the pandemic, often at considerable risk to themselves.

    Weve been at The Showmans Show near Newbury today, meeting event suppliers including The Magic Teapot crew, and looking at new infrastructure for Wickham 2025.  Two Magic Teapots anyone?

    Cant have too many magic teapots - but can traders PLEASE have a local wifi network as some other festivals do, the poor phone/internet signal at the new site was a big problem 🙂

    Two would be good One huge one less so. Magic teapot is an escape

    Would prefer 1 magic teapot and the return of Bunnychow 😀

    Way back before Covid The Song for Wickham was written by Steve Knightley to celebrate Wickhams 800th anniversary.  Post-Covid Steve & Wickhams Community Choir performed the song at the 2022 Wickham Festival.  Now you can buy the recording which is one of 12 fine tracks on Steves The Winter Yards album.Image attachmentImage attachment
