Roger Chapman Family & Friends joins our Sunday Wickham Festival line up

We’ve added a few more artists to our line up section in the last month.  First off one of Britain’s most distinctive rock vocalists, Roger Chapman of ‘Family’, is confirmed for an appearance on Sunday 5th August.  He’ll be joining Richard Thompson, The Undertones, and The Blues Band amongst many others to make our final day a memorable one.

Roger Chapman, known as ‘Chappo’ by his legions of fans is best known for his involvement with Family.

We’re also pleased to announce another great band, The Black Kat Boppers, will have you dancing on Friday night.  They’re a hot boppin, groovin’ 4 piece group playing rockin, roots music with a guitar, double bass & stand up drums.

Our most recent addition to the line up is Ryan Young, an emerging young fiddle player from Scotland.  He’s one of a ‘new wave’ of young players bringing fresh and inventive ideas to traditional Scottish music.  He’ll be performing on Friday 3rd August 2018.

For those who enjoyed the Q&A with Tom Walker a.k.a. Jonathan Pie at last year’s Wickham Festival, here’s a video of the full show. Enjoy! Subject to confirmation we’re hoping to have Jonathan Pie’s full stand-up comedy show at this year’s Festival.

With less than 5 months to go, as ever we’re busy booking lots of family entertainment including a return visit by Hodman & Sally, the little people.  We’re planning to publish a lot more information about our other attractions / catering this year on our web site, so watch this space.

    Yes, as others have said, a site plan would be good even if things have to change at the last minute. So the Big Tops are on the west of the Wickham to Waltham Chase road this year. Where is the camping in relation to the Big Top field? Is it the other side of the main road? Surely not.

    Does excited happy dance 🕺, wanders off to pack, sun cream, waterproofs, sun dress, thermals, sandals, wellies... having done Wickham in all weather's I just know the music and site will be AMAZING whatever the british weather throws at us. Thank you. Xx

    Can we arrive on the Wednesday?
