People flocked to Wickham yesterday (August 1) for the first day of the annual Wickham Festival and day one did not disappoint. With the likes of the Fleetwood Collective, The Men They Couldn’t Hang, Virginia Kettle, Naomi Bedford & The Ramshackle Band and Phil Odgers and John Kettle all taking to the stage, the festival got off to a brilliant start.
The festival will take place between August 1 and August 4 and there will be stalls, a silent disco and other attractions including The Magic Teapot, Folk Orc Workshops and Fit Up Circus.
