Community Gaming
Since I last wrote, the game PokemonGo has taken over! We went into Wisbech town centre, thinking we might see a couple of people, but there were so many, it was fantastic! It’s a game of collecting, and gaining experience by challenging others to win ownership of a “gym”. As it’s all done in the …
Wisbech Town and Pokémon (?)
Since I last wrote, the game PokemonGo has taken over! We went into Wisbech town centre, thinking we might see a couple of people, but there were so many, it was fantastic! It’s a game of collecting, and gaining experience by challenging others to win ownership of a “gym”. As it’s all done in the …
Summer Activities
Summer has begun! (I hope it is still summer when this goes to print…) The children are all finishing school, and there’s clubs and events on everywhere. Some you may know, but many are run with little budget for promotion, so I’m happy to share those I’ve found, hidden gems of activities! One fun new …
Wisbech Museum
Following on from last week, I continue with my love of old cabinets with a picture of the Wisbech and Fenland Museum! This is in the first room (I forgot to check what the bird is, pop in and find out!) In the main room is the view that’s most commonly shown, with the balustrades …
Ouse Washes Landscape Partnership and Christmas
Do you know where you live? I mean really know? I went to a conference recently, run by the Ouse Washes Landscape Partnership (OWLP). A day of excellent academic speakers talking us through the archaeology of the last few thousand years of the Fens! The OWLP blog is full of information to help you learn …
Christmas Map
I’m feeling Christmassy seeing all the lights twinkling – my favourites are the old ones along the famous Brinks, but the new ones are looking great too! Well done all involved in the Lights switch-on. The next big event is the Christmas Fayre (I think I may have mentioned it before…!) It’s been fun being …
Arts Alive!
Arts Alive! I’ve talked before about funding coming to the area, which is most welcome and will provide activities and improvements which we can all enjoy. One pot that is already being spent is Arts Alive! This is giving all local libraries a menu of activities and events to choose from within a small …
Indie Retail
Just off the Market Place, opposite the entrance to Horsefair and on your way to the Crescent and the Library, is Market Street, which, along with Hill Street and the roads leading to it, is an Indie Retail area. Independent retailers are often family run, led by enthusiasts bringing a real buzz to a town …
Heritage Open Days August 2015
Lorena runs Red Barn Creative a local arts organisation to support artists/makers and also offers sewing and crochet classes. I hope the summer holidays have been good to you, and we get a few more weeks of sunny outdoors weather left (particularly on WisBeach day, August 31st – such a great idea! Go to …
Penelope Club
I’m writing this later in the week than usual as it’s been a busy few days. Rose Fair has started, and it was wonderful to be at the Mayor’s “At Home” this evening, which was held at St Peter’s and St Paul’s church. The flower arrangements are all stunning; I will add some photos online, …
