Hello! The Prime Minister has announced the closure of all public entertainment venues for the foreseeable future. Assuming this ban is relaxed at some point before early August the Wickham Festival will be ON. Given our August dates are still 20 weeks away we hope the peak of the pandemic will be over by then and you will be able to leave your homes and enjoy yourselves again listening to the likes of Van Morrison, The Waterboys and many more.
Van Morrison is to headline this year’s Wickham Festival. Continue reading “Van Morrison confirmed for Wickham Festival”
The legendary singer / songwriter / musician Van Morrison is to headline this year’s Wickham Festival. He’ll be appearing with his full band on Saturday 8th August performing classic hits such as Brown Eyed Girl, Moondance, Jackie Wilson Said, and Gloria. Van Morrison has just sold-out six nights at the London Palladium.

Over this weekend we’ve updated our website with another batch of artists within our Line Up section. There’s some great new additions we’re excited to welcome to Wickham Festival 2020. As ever there will be several debut performances as well as those that have entertained us before. We believe this is probably the strongest line-up in depth of any celtic / folk / roots / blues / rock festival this summer. What’s more, if you buy your tickets now we continue to be cheaper than Cambridge Folk Festival, Cornbury, Larmer Tree and Beautiful Days amongst others.
We hope you’ve all had a fanatics Christmas and enjoyed spending time with family and friends. We have just updated our website to include the listings for our 2020 line up so far. This is just the start as we have many more announcements to make in the coming months including our main headliners. Some notable acts include Leo Sayer, The South, and Jim Cregan.

It’s that time of year again when you can try and can spot yourself in our new Wickham Festival 2019 Gallery.

Thanks again to Guy Reece of Striking Faces fame and all our team of photographers for snapping some brilliant pictures to help us reminisce. If you see Guy next year remember to give him a Wickham “W” pose…

About 2/3 of those artists have been epic. I'd have included Kate Rusby, Frank Turner and the Treacherous Orchestra.
Great memories. Definitely Carlos Núñez was our favourite artist and one we were proud to perform with.
Ferocious Dog, Tom Robinson, Tankus the Henge, and the fabulous Grace Petrie.
4 years Back with Roger Taylor! ❤️
Police Dog Hogan would fit in great!
I loved Le Vent du Nord last year. I know you’ve had them many times, because Jenni knows the lads well, but it was my first time seeing them and they are just amazing.

Face in the Crowd: Seen at last year's Festival. But who was Ferg?
I'm Ferg... could have been a subtle request that I play there next time round !?! 😉 www.facebook.com/nothingconcrete1
Haha I love it! 😂😂 Wickham Music Festival I was looking for Fergus Cameron !!! Him and Sid disappeared but we found them chilling at their camel camp tent 😎😂 xx
We're going through some photos of last year's Festival and this one puzzled us.
I dunno ... but I saw this on 'Fans of Jackie Magazine ... it's from 1971.
Well it's Ferg... Init? Lol
No! I'm Ferg! Or was it Spartacus? 😂
Ferg Al Sharkey
Sophie Louisa Carter.....I think people are looking for answers 😂 x

Was she wearing that wig for a bet though?
I remember, she was amazing 💕thanks Wickham fest! Xx
Still such a beautiful voice. Wickham is my very favourite festival.
Loved seeing her ❤
I saw her recently at G Live, she was amazing !
Not bad for an 80 year old.
A highlight. Loved seeing her live and hearing her stories of Leonard Cohen!
Wasn't expecting anything, or from Nash's set, but they were both absolute highlights for me, not just here but for 2019. REAL professionals...
She was amazing!
Geoff Bland I was there - amazing!
Brilliant set!
Reduced me to tears x
Mine too!
Live concert tonight by one of our Wickham artists & comperes Alistair Goodwin. Saturday 8.30pm. Enjoy!
