Last Chance to save £60 on every 2019 adult weekend season ticket

Our 2019 Wickham Festival dates are Thursday 1st to Sunday 4th August 2019. If you’ve yet to book your ‘earlybird’ weekend season tickets for next year you can still save a whopping £60 on every adult ticket if you book by Friday 31st August via our tickets page. We’ve already sold a record number of ‘earlybird’ tickets for 2019 so please hurry if you’ve yet to book. Prices rise on 1st September.

Re-live this year’s wonderful Wickham Festival, our official Wickham Festival video is now online…

You can also listen to interview highlights from Wickham Festival 2018 with Steve Harley, Alison Darley, Swill Odgers, John Illsley, Boo Hewerdine, Kate Rusby, Richard Thompson, and many others including myself.

Thank you to everyone who’s emailed about lost property. It’s taking a little while to reply to all emails so please bear with us, we will reply to everyone a.s.a.p. (also everyone who’s sent feedback on this year’s Festival and ideas for next year).  Thank you also to Johnny Whalley and the many others that have given us a great write up.  You can read his feedback on the Folk Radio website.
