Library ‘Engage’ Events
The library is of course a source of information on all things, but did you know they run regular activities and events? You can find something to suit everyone. I went along to one of their “Engage” events today, always the last Thursday morning of the month. Today’s Engage was with Diane Calton Smith, a …
Minecraft, Horsefair and more
To explain the pictures for this week’s column, this is what I was talking about last time – it’s a virtual online world with Wisbech Town Centre created in it! It looks a bit like LEGO, but is Minecraft. It took weeks to build as each block of the outer layers of the buildings is …
Wisbech in Bloom
We must all have seen the beautiful flowers throughout the town – if you haven’t yet, do pop in just for this spectacular display. It’s a culmination of Wisbech in Bloom’s work throughout the year to grow and plant displays for the Anglia in Bloom regional competition. This year, Wisbech is being judged for both …
April 2018
Continuing the recent heritage theme (though I will return to indie businesses soon) I’m looking forward to the last week of April with three interesting events on. I’ve previously mentioned the talk on Medieval Fenland by Sue Oosthuizen with FenArch, at Mendi’s, Old Market – 7.30pm Wednesday 24th April. The Museum are hosting a talk …

This week I’ve enjoyed talking to so many people about plans for Wisbech that I ran out of time to interview the people I wanted to for this week’s article! I look forward to meeting with the Fenland Archaeological Society (FenArch) soon to bring you more details about their work and their events. Meanwhile, I …
January 2018
After the quiet holiday period, everyone’s getting back to work and getting on with 2018! I’ve been busy making plans to meet with various heritage, cultural and community organisations and projects so looking forward to bringing you news of them all as they progress. For example, I had a productive and interesting meeting with the …
Happy New Year 2018
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a good break and are planning 2018. I’m writing this in that in-between time from Christmas to New Year, we’re not celebrating one or the other, so what do we do? I know many will be working, I’m very lucky that I work for myself so can …
Slotcars? 2017
Having found Rima’s group (that I wrote about last time) almost by chance, I’ve now found another regular club that’s just as much fun but a completely different style! I spotted a poster on Facebook and clicked through to find out more. They are a bunch of enthusiasts of all ages who meet once a …
September 2017
I know I say this often, but it is an exciting time in the Capital of the Fens! Indeed, in the whole of the area. After many years of low or no funding, a number of organisations and places have been getting their bids approved and they all have substantial community activity elements. Over the …
