It's been a busy day at the Castle today with our first Civil Ceremony of the year.
We would like to wish Garry and Paul all the very best for their future.
The morning for volunteers was spent tidying the garden and the afternoon making sure the guests and grooms had all they needed to enjoy the special day.
It is always such a privilege as a volunteer to be part of someone's special day.
Also a big thank you for donating the pots of daffodils to our garden.
If you would like to know more about a wedding or civil ceremony at Wisbech Castle, please contact Wisbech Town Council for a tour and more information.

This morning was spent taking down the Christmas Decorations

Thank you to Barbara, David and their friend who got all of the Downstairs cleared with Susan. Steve, Sam, Sarah and Amanda worked on the middle floor.

Last Call - this is TOMORROW (Sunday 15th December)

On Sunday 15th December we are opening Wisbech Castle for a FREE interactive family Christmas event, which is particularly aimed at families with younger children who love Santa Come and see the beautiful traditional decorations generously donated and installed by The Retreat Hair Salon. Bring the kids to take part in activities like making reindeer food and writing a letter to Santa, meet Christmas Elves and other Christmas characters as the preparations for Christmas continue. There is a rumour that Santa may even be in his grotto! 🙂

How it works:
There are no tickets or timing for the event. Come to the Front Entrance of Wisbech Castle, between 11AM and 5.30PM, if there's a queue you can always try again later if you dont want to stand in line. A visit takes approx 30 minutes, and visits are limited to one per group.

Availability is subject to how busy the queue is, but we've made window of entrance six and a half hours to hopefully allow the maximum number of people to come and enjoy the festive fun.

Please note:
Because Wisbech Castle is an old heritage building, it is not accessible to wheelchairs and is not accessible for those who aren't able to negotiate stairs easily.

Hope to see you there!

This morning we had our first wreath making workshop. The ladies enjoyed a quick tour of the building before getting to work in the Fendick room creating some amazing wreaths. A coffee break in the Scullery before the finishing touches were put in place.
If you would like to hold a workshop, or even just rent a room for a family gathering, contact Wisbech Town Council .
