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.
