Wickham is a compact village and civil parish in the Winchester district of Hampshire, England, set in the gentle farmland of the Meon Valley where the River Meon runs through. It sits close to the rolling chalk of the South Downs, giving a mix of riverside meadows, arable countryside and a compact historic centre of timber‑framed and Georgian buildings around a traditional village square.
The village has long been a local market and service centre, with independent shops, pubs and a regular market, and enjoys a lively community life - notably the annual Wickham Festival which brings folk and roots music fans to the area. The local economy combines agriculture and small businesses with many residents commuting to nearby centres such as Winchester and Portsmouth, while conservation and heritage are visible in the village’s architecture and community activities.
