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?
Folk Orc Workshops
Folk music is about community, sharing experiences and telling stories. Folk Orc Workshops want to bring folk music back to being about everyday people playing music together and creating a community free from the confines of any social hierarchy. There is a place for you in The Folk Orc no matter what you play or what level you play at.
The aim of The Folk Orc is to get more people playing music, and this is what their Festival Workshops are here to do. They are also there for people who already play an instrument and either want to try something different, pick up a few tips or get some experience playing with other like minded musicians whilst learning some traditional folk songs.
The Travelling Talesman
The Travelling Talesman is a spoken word narrative performer of myths, legends, folktales and the occasional poem … a storyteller!

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.
