Thank You & 2023 Earlybird Tickets

Phew, what a scorcher we just had! A huge THANK YOU to everyone that attended Wickham Festival 2022. This year was probably our best ever, thanks in no small part to four days of glorious sunshine. There was hardly a cloud in sight for the whole weekend … so much better than last year’s rain and mud!

Our newly grassed arena field and a return to our pre-pandemic site layout proved popular as did the wonderful choice of music and other attractions across our festival site.

As always we’re offering ‘earlybird’ tickets for 2023 at a bargain price, saving you up to a whopping £100 on every 4-day adult weekend ticket if you book now by post or save £90 using our online form. Prices are slightly higher online due to external ticket agency fees but are still a fantastic bargain. Please visit our tickets page to purchase tickets for 2023.

If you enjoyed Wickham 2022 or even if you didn’t attend this year, please book early to enjoy the best bargains for 2023. Prices will have to rise later this month.

We’ve been busy updating our website. Please visit our Videos page to see some videos from 2022.

So you can re-live some of the highlights and keep those 2022 memories alive, we’ve added an archive page to host all content from Wickham Festival 2022. As well as details of the line up, it includes links to reviews such as this one from ‘At The Barrier’. Thank you to everyone that takes the time to write a review or upload and share videos of our festival. In the coming months we’ll upload our 2022 gallery once we collate and review images from our photographers. We also plan to update the first of our 2023 line up artists before the end of the year.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s festival so very special. We look forward to seeing you all again next year – our 2023 dates are Thursday 3rd to Sunday 6th August 2023.

Kind regards,
Peter Chegwyn and all the Wickham Team
