Spend a day in the Fens and visit one of the finest flower festivals in England, but there is also so much more to see and do in Wisbech, especially during Rose Fair. The town is ideal for a day out or a short break. The historic centre of Wisbech has a wide range of shops and a bustling market on Thursday and Saturday. During the Rose Fair (Wednesday July 1st to Saturday July 4th), the church of St Peter & St Paul is open on most days until 8pm.


Choral evensong is held daily at the church from Wednesday to Saturday at 4.30pm. On Sunday a Civic Service is held at 10.00am and Songs of Praise at 6.30pm.

Lunches, teas and strawberry teas are served throughout Rose Fair in the church hall and marquee at St Peter & St Paul's.

The other town centre churches are also open with displays and are all within a few minutes walk of the main car park.


Wisbech offers the ideal day out - other attractions include
* Peckover House and Gardens (National Trust)
* Wisbech & Fenland Museum
* Octavia Hill Birthplace House
* Elgood's Brewery & Garden
* Wisbech Castle (a Regency villa), gardens and pump room

* The Lilian Ream Collection

Lunches and light refreshments are available at Peckover House and Elgood's Brewery Visitor Centre.

On Rose Fair Saturday a grand parade of floats organised by the Round Table tours the town at 11am and 2.00pm.
