We have an elegant, fully licensed Bar that has recently been upgraded to include even more products that have been requested over the last year as well as a popcorn warmer and improved coffee making facilities. Now under new management we have been working hard to build upon the great things that the Luxe is known for, starting with digital laser projection and a new screen as well as new seating and carpets.

This is a must place to visit if your anyway interested in Aircraft, local aviation history. You can either spend hours reading of the fate and history behind many recovered crash site aircraft relics or spend an hour or two to look inside aircraft cockpits, see how pilots were trained in simulators or view some of the uk's most iconic aircraft that are on display. This is a place where the Volunteers are most helpful and knowledgeable. Take the time to visit even if for a short time and the entry wont break the bank! Dont let the memory of what the men and women of the services have done for us for so many years. Thanks Peter and crew for taking the time to speak to Joshua and myself. Rgds Duncan

The Rose Tavern

Located on the North Brink in Wisbech, a characterful pub (Free House) specialising in real ale where a friendly and a warm welcome await both you and your Kanine friend. You will regularly find tipples such as Woodforde's Wherry & London Pride on the pumps along with guest appearances from both local & national breweries both small & large such as Elgoods & Tydd Steam, from the Wisbech area stretching far and wide with beers from St Austell, Charlie Wells, Batemans, Eccleshall & Brains to name but a few. Although dogs are very welcome, we recommend avoiding bringing them along during our busier time e.g. Friday evenings, our pub is relatively small and we would hate for your dog to get trodden on. Our annual beer festival is held on the last full weekend in June, where we aim to have a good selection of 20-25 real ales, sourced locally, regionally and nationally. There is usually live music on Saturday night, Sunday afternoon and Sunday evening to entertain all our customers. All in all it's a fab weekend, rain, wind or shine!

Wisbech & Fenland Museum

Reviewed By C3044FZjanec

This museum was purpose-built to house its amazing array of artefacts, covering every conceivable aspect of Wisbech and Fenland life from prehistoric remains to the tools of local industry, and all sorts of interesting things collected by its founders in years gone by. There is so much to see in a relatively small space that more than one visit to this free museum could easily be made. An excellent place to pass the time if the weather's bad!

Elgood's Brewery and Gardens

Reviewed By Tharsheblows - Essex, United Kingdom

Great to find a traditional family business. We took a tour round the brewery with an excellent guide - accompanied by the resident cat - and tasted the delicious beer. The garden is a joy. Small, beautifully planted areas lead one into another making a series of oases. This place has charm. And the staff are friendly too!

A National Trust Property - house, grounds containing a Stables restaurant etc.

Reviewed By Oldiestwo

This is a hidden gem in the centre of Wisbeach. The cafe is in a lovely courtyard together with the bookshop and is a very peaceful setting. The gardens are very well laid out with beautiful flower beds and orders, and the croquet lawn is a gem in the midst of the town. On the day of our visit a pianist was playing in the library , it was a wonderful experience. The house is very welcoming and has a wonderful atmosphere, well worth a visit.

The Castle, Wisbech

Reviewed By C6718POchristopherc - Walsoken, United Kingdom

Not currently open for many hours it seems, but we'll worth a visit. Very friendly, volunteer staff in a quaint and apparently ancient green painted shed. Sit inside or outside under cover in the quiet garden. There's lovely home made cakes and a choice of freshly brewed coffee (with free top-ups! when it's quiet), tea and various cold drinks, all very reasonably priced. A little gem in the the centre of town. Check online for opening hours. There's not a lot of parking right outside but there are big, free car parks nearby.

Angles Theatre

The Angles Theatre in Alexandra Road, is a lively and vibrant Arts Centre housed in a Georgian building with a theatrical tradition stretching back over 200 years. Built in 1793, it remained in use as a theatre for just over 50 years, since when it has had a chequered career as a school, a tent maker's and the Town Library. Live theatre was reintroduced about 20 years ago and its intimate 112 seat auditorium brings to Wisbech, some of the best professional talent in the country, from musicians and poets to dance, mime, comedy and Theatre Companies.

Lovely and interesting church to look round, beautiful stained glass windows. St Peter's church gardens next to the church are beautifully kept with nice benches to sit on.
