Camping & Accommodation

General Camping Information

Our campsites have room for tents, caravans and motorhomes and are located adjacent to our main Festival arena. All camping fields are just a few minutes walk from the shops and amenities of Wickham village. The campsites will be open from 12 noon to 9pm on Wednesday for early arrivals.  This year there will be no extra free concert on Wednesday at the nearby Wickham Community Centre like previous festivals.

Campsites will then re-open from 10am onwards on the Thursday and close at 12 noon on the Monday.

Please follow signs when approaching the festival for the different types of camping.  We will post any relevant news on our social channels leading up to the event that affect campers and where you should go.  Groups wishing to camp together in a mix of tents and caravans should follow the signs for our ‘mixed camping’ field.

The Westlands Farm Shop are on hand to provide you with fresh goods throughout your time at the festival. They sell fresh milk, fruit, butchery, bread, locally sourced alcohol including gin, ale and cider, hot drinks, and you can make your own milkshakes! Pop in to see them, open from 7AM – 6PM Monday – Saturday and 8AM – 4PM on Sunday.

Tented camping this year is being hosted by Westlands Farm Shop open from 7AM – 6PM Monday – Saturday and 7AM – 4PM on Sunday.

There will be first-class facilities including decent toilets, ‘Posh Wash’ showers and washing facilities on all camping fields (including those for caravans and motorhomes).

This year’s Wickham Festival will have some of the best toilets ever seen on a festival site. We’ve booked more luxury loos than ever before with more toilets & washrooms on both our campsites and in our arena. Our new single unit vacuum toilet pods are environmentally friendly and come equipped with vanity units, ceramic sinks & high-quality hand soap dispensers.

There is free car parking for weekend and day ticket holders. Catering facilities will be available onsite all weekend with an excellent range of quality food outlets. In addition the village of Wickham has several award-winning restaurants, bistros and wine bars where excellent food is available at very reasonable prices.
