There’s fantastic music across our weekend but as you know we always try to offer plenty of choice at Wickham. With the success of last year’s spoken word shows and particularly local TV legend, Fred Dinenage, we’ve brought them back for this year.

Sadly it’s not going to be a Show of Hands reformation, but Wickham Festival 2025 will delight our many SOH fans. With them announcing they will no longer tour together, their Full Circle tour marked their final performance before taking an indefinite break. So it will be great to have Steve Knightley, Phil Beer, and long-time bassist collaborator Miranda Sykes all taking to the stage this year!

Over the last few weeks we’ve been adding to our line up with some incredible artists to entertain us this summer. Please follow our Facebook page for the latest updates.

His song “1952 Vincent Black Lightning” was named one of TIME Magazine’s “100 Greatest Songs Since 1923.”
