Ahoy there! Climb aboard for our Mini Sea Shanty festival on Saturday from noon.
RX Shanty men
It starts with the RX Shantymen from Hastings followed by…
Shirley Knott from Southampton
Spinnaker Shanty from Hampshire
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.
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?

Great News! Thanks to the Govt. saying they intend to allow festivals from June 21 with no restrictions, this year's Wickham Festival will go-ahead as planned. Book now and save £60 on every 4-day adult season ticket. www.wickhamfestival.co.uk/tickets... See MoreSee Less
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?
Tonight (Tuesday, 16th) at 8pm. Our live-streamed concert and multi-media event featuring top Scottish band Breabach and BAFTA winning animator Cat Bruce. Tickets via this link: myplayer.uk/dusgadh... See MoreSee Less
