We are pleased to say that all performance times on both our main stages have now been added to our website and can be viewed in our line up section. We really do feel this is our strongest ever line up with so many incredible and diverse artists performing. We’ve tried to avoid clashes between similar artists as much as possible.

No more stubble! No more mud, hooray!

We're pleased to say the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting will be at Wickham. Please visit their stall and support their campaign to stop people killing wild animals in the name of 'sport'.
The Campaign has been in all the national newspapers this week. There's a great article by Lorraine Kelly in today's Sun.
It’s hard to look at pictures of these senseless killings, and so easy to walk past a stall such as this when enjoying our musical freedoms at your wonderful festival. But these beautiful creatures now have no freedom and we applaud your stance on trying to do something to stop this appalling animal trophy tourism. Wickham will always be our favourite festival. 👏
We'll be visiting the stall. Excellent, thank you Wickham xxx
Well done wickham
We will definitely be visiting the stall!
Even putting cruelty, suffering and animal loss to one side. Is this now morally acceptable behaviour? No, it isn’t. We are but guests on this planet and will be gone eventually but while we are here is this really how we should be treating the only home we have?
We'll see you there... this is despicable
Great cause. Take a look at this recent senseless killing of a magnificent elephant that we are trying raise awareness of too: Desert Elephants & Friends Voortrekker the Desert Elephant
Will do.
Baffles me how beastly people can hold down a relationship and I cant ...I don't even kill animals then gloat lovingly over their lifeless corpses... maybe I'm going about things wrong...!
Aug. 1st-4th. Less than two weeks to go. Have a peep at our website www.wickhamfestival.co.uk/line-up to see who's playing when. Both main stages + Quay West Cave + Acoustic Stage timings all now added. Hope you've got your tickets - they're selling fast.
Can’t wait as love this festival, one thing I would ask is have you sorted the issue of entrances and exits to the stages/ tents being blocked by camping chairs as last year was an accident waiting to happen.
Looking forward to our fourth consecutive year this year 👍. We've had torrential rain and mud (2017 or was it 2016?) and we've had scorching sunshine (2018). Whatever the weather we'll be there and having a fabulous time ⛺️☂️😎🌞🍹🍻🎹🎸🎪
Fingers crossed the weather improves! We'll still have fun anyway, but come on the sunshine!
See you there! 😎
Found it eventually on a link to Clashfinder right at the bottom of the page.
Plus yours truly hosting the comedy tent don’t forget! 😂🕺🏽⭐️👍🤩😂
Keifer and lindesfarne overlapping, what shall I do
