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.
