I love Wickham square it's full of independent shops and some great pubs. Parking is free for half an hour if you just need to pop into a shop quickly. Otherwise parking is reasonable. Unfortunately, the lovely tea room has closed which is a great shame. A short walk away is Chesapeake Mill which is always worth browsing around.

Boxing day, just the one day of the year, what was originally a morning meet for bikers has become a free for all for motoring enthusiasts with all sorts of automotive gold turning up to join in from steam engines, hot rods, customs, classics, army, sports bikes, Mods and their highly decorated scooters, its free, just turn up from around 8am onwards. As the gathering is open, cars are constantly turning up and leaving, so wandering around the Square just the once is not an option as the collection of cars constantly changes There is always food to buy along with a warm cup of tea and some of the shops are open for sandwiches etc. A good day out which has not failed to please so far in the last ten years I have attended.

Heart of the village with nice pubs and restaurants, lots of parking

Nice little town/village with large square now used for car parking. Lots of interesting shops and cafes the old Mill is a antique centre with a vegetarian cafe check opening times. Parking in the square is quite cheap. Small change required..

Lovely village with market square. Good place sit and have beer and food. Number of antique type shops for browsing. Picnic by water meadows a treat for family.
