Wickham Festival News

Important arrival information

Our new Festival fields are looking amazing in this week’s sunshine. If you’re heading to Wickham you’ll love our new site. And if you were put off returning by last year’s rain & mud then do please give us another try… you really will love our new site.

Please note the following:

  • Day & Weekend tickets are still available online here and will also be on sale at the gate every day (cash & cards accepted).
  • Our campsites are open from 10am to 9pm Wednesday then 24/7 from 10am Thursday.
  • The postcode for our new Festival site is PO17 5PP, but as you approach please follow the signs for tented camping, campervans/motorhomes, day parking, disabled camping etc.
  • We’re sorry we can’t provide you with a site plan in advance as the layout of our new site is still a ‘work in progress’ until we open the gates. On that note, the arena will open 6pm – 10.30pm on Wednesday for early arrivals. Food & drink available and a chance to find your way around our lovely new arena.
  • The arena opens to the public from 4pm Thursday with live music starting at 5.30. All daily line-ups and stage times can be viewed on our line up pages.
  • You can collect your wristbands from the Box Office from Wednesday afternoon. Programmes (£5) & Festival t-shirts (£20) will be available from 6pm from the Merchandising stall just inside the arena entrance.
  • The weather forecast for the weekend is great. Our new arena is gorgeous. All we need now is YOU! It’s going to be an absolutely amazing Festival. We look forward to seeing you there.

    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

    Missed out on @oasis tickets? You can enjoy a full weekend of top quality music at #wickhamfestival instead... and tickets are a lot easier to book. Simply go to and save up to £100 on an Early Bird weekend ticket if you book now.

    We've fewer than 100 'earlybird' weekend season tickets still available for Wickham 2025. At just £40 a day (£160 for the weekend) with no added booking fees, they're the Festival bargain of the summer so don't delay. Prices have to rise next weekend.

    Here it is! Our official 2024 Wickham Festival video with highlights of one of our best festivals ever. Can you see yourself?
