Bug Beats Silent Disco
We’re delighted to have the Bug Beats Silent Disco return to Wickham. They’ll be operating from 8pm to 1am nightly. So after the music ends on our main stages you’ll have the option of our late night comedy or a silent disco to carry on into the night. For those that don’t know, a silent disco is where a DJ plays tunes to everyone that has a set of headphones to hear the music. All you hear when walking past is the crowd singing and dancing, like this!
The Magic Teapot
The Magic Teapot is an all-weather, totally acoustic, fireside venue designed to be flexible for all weather conditions. Over the years it has proved a very popular part of Wickham Festival bringing visitors and players of a variety of instruments together. Over the past few years, they’ve gathered together a lively crew, who welcome you into The Magic Teapot with tunes and smiles. Not only are they all singers and musicians, but they will also serve you an excellent cuppa. What is there not to like about The Magic Teapot?

As always Sunday is ‘Kilt Sunday’ at Wickham
We hope as many of you that have an excuse to wear a kilt can show off your legs.
As well as our usual range of real ales & ciders, for the 1st time at Wickham we’ll also have craft beers from the award-winning Powder Monkey Brewery in Gosport at this August’s Festival.
Charity stalls
Have a break between acts you want to see? Then please stop by our charity stalls to learn about the great work they do …. or just say hello and chat with some friendly, wonderful volunteers!
Every year we provide free stall spaces for some local charities. Please support them when you’re at the Festival. We’ve supported many LOCAL charities over the years such as Two Saints who provide people with homes and specialist support so they feel more valued and secure, and ready to take the next steps.
Another is Rose Road who make a positive difference to the lives of young people with disabilities.
George’s Rockstars was set up in memory of 6 year old George, who was diagnosed with leukaemia at just 22 months old in November 2014. Their mission is to make children in hospitals smile through the power of music therapy.
Also this year you can visit the Marvels and Meltdowns stall. It is estimated that there are 2,802 children and young people aged 0-17 years or 3,823 children and young people aged 0-24 years living with autism in Hampshire. Marvels and Meltdowns provide a safe and fully inclusive space open to all providing 2 play spaces, a refreshment area, food & drink, garden and a sensory room.
