Wickham Festival 2021 To Go-Ahead As Planned!

Posted on by Peter Chegwyn

The Government have announced their intention to allow large gatherings including music festivals to be staged without restrictions from June 21st onwards. This means our Wickham Festival in August can go-ahead as planned.

We’ve ‘frozen’ ticket prices since last March so you can still save £60 on every 4-day adult weekend season ticket if you buy now but please hurry! We’ve already experienced a huge surge in demand since the Government’s announcement and numbers are limited.

Tickets can be purchased online via our Tickets page.

After a year of almost no live music we’re looking forward to welcoming you back to Wickham this summer for what we hope will be our best festival ever!

Best wishes,
The Wickham Festival Team

Whilst we’re celebrating this great news we’ve just learned that Wickham favouites Edward II are releasing a new CD, Dancing Tunes, which can be ordered direct from their website.

    Were pleased to see that the late, great Wilko Johnson, who appeared twice at Wickham, is having a train named after him by C2C today. It will undertake its inaugural journey from Southend Central to Fenchurch Street at approximately 10:45.
