Landlord.
Patience, give it another day and check with the hydrometer to see if the gravity has changed, maybe the yeast is just taking its time to get to work.
You haven't given a lot of information to make any guesses or ideas with so can't say a lot more than that at the moment.
Its worth using the search function near the top to have a look for similar topics others have put up for some ideas as well :)

thanks, im new to this,
but have done a nelsons revenge before which was good,
ive got a st peters ruby red in the shed conditioning,
which tastes good.
just thought the wherry would have shown some signs of bubbling.
ive brewed this to 21ltrs,instead of 23ltrs,
the temp is 22 degrees.

Wherry is notorious for slow starting. Don't worry it will get going.

thanks bob,i thought I read that somewhere,
I have 40 pints of st peters, and 40 pints of cider in the shed, conditioning.
they are wrapped in insulated aluminium foil.
its about 4 degrees in there,
will they be alright, or is it too cold.
thanks sam.

What temp have you got where it is? You want around 20c. As for your other beer at 4c it should be fine. Ideally you should aim for 13c but unless you have a temperature controlled cellar you are not going to achieve that. Mine is in the shed and all has been fine. Although it's 8c today.

I've done two wherry kits now and as you I was concerned with my first one. The airlock never bubbled at all, in fact i don't think the airlock was even necessary with the wherry. After 2 weeks at 20c and leaving it alone I got a final gravity of 1010 and a lovely pint (well, 40) of ale. Don't worry about it, leave it alone and it will be fine.
Don't rely on an airlock for sign of fermentation.
Unless your fv has a very good seal then it's a common problem that the co2 escapes without going through the airlock making you think nothing is happening.
Always use a hydrometer to get an accurate measure of fermentation not an airlock

Glad it's going. As yours is in a bucket it's probably leaking pressure around the seal rather than the airlock. But it's clearly fermenting so just leave it alone to do it's thing.
