Alternate Quay from Bristol & Portsmouth
Portsmouth Shantymen
RX Shantymen from Hastings
Graeme Knights from London
The Wilsons
The above have sung all over the world, many have sailed and sung on the tall ships in Amsterdam, Bristol, Hull, Liverpool, Portsmouth and Australia.
Graeme Knights was invited Down Under last year and also toured the USA where he sang in the famous maritime festival.The Wickham Festival is again hosting a sea shanty celebration
The Shanty songs, are working songs that helped sailors haul up the masts and sails on tall ships.
This event will be a real treat for those who love this rousing form of song so make sure you catch it in one of the tents at the bottom end of the festival.

These guys are amazing!! Such talented musicians and give a ‘Doors’ experience. They also use 60’s equipment. May be good for the Thursday night tribute band slot. Hands down best tribute band I have ever seen. thedoorsinconcert.com/
Nothing for the kids this year (no bouncy castle, laser quest, fit up etc) so a no from us until they’re older.
Missed out on @oasis tickets? You can enjoy a full weekend of top quality music at #wickhamfestival instead... and tickets are a lot easier to book. Simply go to and save up to £100 on an Early Bird weekend ticket if you book now.
