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.

Great News! We’ve secured an extra 28 acres of well-drained, grassed fields with excellent access via a tarmac road running the entire length of the fields meaning that, for the first time, everyone can camp on grass at this year’s Wickham Festival whether you’re in a tent, caravan, camper van, motorhome or any combination of them all. No more stubble! No more mud, hooray!

WITH events looking like they will return in the summer, festivals such as the Wickham Festival have excitedly confirmed their line-up and promoted their tickets.Looking forward to the festival - but I'm concerned about the risk with so many people so close together. As the government is suggesting that all restrictions could be lifted by then, there could be a lot of people, without masks, much closer together than 2 metres. Given your festival goers tend to be older people in the main, I'm keen to know what steps you may be taking to ensure safety. Are you able to reveal anything yet? Thanks!
Phew just in time then maybe
Are you accepting people that are unvaccinated and know they don't need the vaccine?
Events of 10,000 no more

Hooray! Rolled over my tickets from last year, just booked hotel for the 3 nights! Now I have to hope Jelly Belly Bean shop in Wickham is still trading!
How do you get information on having a trade stand?
That's a bloody good line-up
Best news this yr. Have so missed live music. Have my tickets from last yr safely put away.
Can we roll over to next year if we can't go?
Have you got covid safety restrictions in place? X
Best news ive heard since last march, 🎊🎉🎶
Looks amazing...what a lineup!
Spent most of last march and April in hospital with covid and have been isolating ever since. You have no idea how much I am looking forward to this.
Fantastic news ........if Leo Sayer can’t make it .......maybe worth asking The Undertones or The Members to replace him .
Can I start packing my bags now - very excited! 🎼🎵🎶😃
Brilliant, I love Show of Hands and Liza Carthy.
Is Leo Sayer not playing now?
Is it £60 off the advertised price or is already deducted?
Yippppoeeeee the government must have heard me asking yous if it’s going ahead
Excellent news! Bought tickets last year and have been keeping fingers crossed that it goes ahead. Can’t wait to see the SAS band again 😁
I really hope this goes ahead - been waiting so long & such a fantastic line-up!
Is there any way of upgrading a day ticket to the full weekend?
Love Eddi Reader, which day will she be there?
To get the saving to buy the 4 day adult season ticket do I click on tier 3 weekend plus Thursday plus Friday as I can’t see the season ticket as a one off. Am I being thick?
All booked...thank you!😎🎵🌼
Got our tickets and can't wait 🤗🤗🤗🤗
