Another great live band confirmed for Wickham Festival 2018 is The South who will be performing on Thursday 2nd August. They last played at Wickham in 2015. They have a string of top 20 singles including their No. 1 single A Little Time as well as Don’t Marry Her, Rotterdam, Song For Whoever, Old Redeyes and Perfect 10…

Formerly the Beautiful South the band has had several line up changes over the years. Performing at Wickham this year will be Alison Wheeler (Vocals), Gaz Birtles (Vocals), Phil Barton (Guitars), Steve Nutter (Bass), Dave Anderson (Drums), Karl Brown (Percussion), Gareth John (Trumpet), Su Robinson (Sax), Andy Price (Keys). A brilliant group of live musicians to look forward to!

    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.

    Afro Celt sound system. PLEASE!!😊😊

    We've fewer than 100 'earlybird' weekend season tickets still available for Wickham 2025. At just £40 a day (£160 for the weekend) with no added booking fees, they're the Festival bargain of the summer so don't delay. Prices have to rise next weekend.
