Had an amazing time playing the wild West room with a few of my friends, some of the puzzles were incredibly inventive and the room really made us work as a team, which was fun. Janos was a great host, giving just the right amount of hints to keep things fun. Also, in this place if you don't finish you can get an explanation of where you went wrong and how much you had left, which is very interesting. Overall a great experience and will come back when the new room opens in 2020.

Shaw House

Built in 1581 by Newbury clothier Thomas Dolman this fine Elizabethan building was recently restored through a £6million project. The stories and characters from Shaw House’s varied past are bought to life in the new exhibition. An ideal day out for families; Wheelie Do activities are located throughout the house, with activities from designing the gardens to playing our Civil War board game. Exciting and varied events program. Open most weekends.

Reviewed By Dakles - Southampton, United Kingdom

We only discovered this place because our daughter was getting married and the registry office is located here. The building is a superb Elizabethan mansion situated in lovely grounds on the outskirts of Newbury. Sadly, the interior is now closed due to Covid but the cafe and toilets are still available. Under normal circumstances there are public opening times for a series of exhibition rooms where you can learn the story of the house and view art exhibitions and the like. Picnics are allowed in the grounds and there is a large car park.

Sandham Memorial Chapel

Reviewed By brizy83 - Newbury, United Kingdom

The Sandham Memorial Chapel was built in 1926 and houses the WW1 war art of Stanley Spencer. There is also a gift shop and, when we went, a pop-up retro tea shop. Though this is not usually there. Spencer's artworks are well worth seeing as they contain examples of soldiers undertaking the mundane, everyday tasks of life at the front.

Watched a concert here, the seating was laid out very well as excellent views of the stage from all areas. The staff were friendly & the whole place was welcoming & very clean. Plenty of parking areas nearby. Will definitely visit again soon.

No visit to Newbury is complete without a visit to St Nics. Beautiful windows, steeped in history, spiritual impact and refreshing silence.

Newbury Wharf

Reviewed By Mobile35942195053 - Bristol, United Kingdom

Parking available here along with toilets. Very neat little cafe where I enjoyed a breakfast and very good coffee. Delightful stroll along the canal from the wharf into central town and the market, back around to the museum, the library and into the Victoria park. Wildlife, birdlife, plenty to do and see or just walk around.
