Bit different to most visits as instead of going in the day we went on a night time ghost hunt, definitely a different atmosphere when the lights go out and your all in the dark especially in the vaults, will definitely be back to explore the house and surrounding area in daylight soon.

Brilliant, we had a great tour and was amazed at how wonderful the place is and just how far back the history goes. Volunteers have done an amazing job. They were very welcoming too.

I normally find positive's in most corners of life but sadly my visit to the castle was very disappointing. Fran+ grey,like the weather,there was little to see+ appearance was of something very thrown together at last moment. On the up side. The experts+ volunteer's were extremely pleasent+ very...

Attended a open day, ( been to a few they are good ) Very well organised, fantastic staff there, all volunteers. Tours done by local councillors who have a love for wisbech and its history. This clearly shows in the tours they do.

Fantastic to discover some of wisbech history and the place itself is AMAZING Gardens are fabulous and done by volunteers as well. Fab asset to the town. Just needs more volunteers so...
