Wisbech Society members and friends will gather for one of their highlights of the year - a garden party in Elgood’s Brewery Gardens - on June 24.
Between 6.30 and 8.30pm, they will be treated to music from Wisbech Grammar School’s Jazz and Swing Bands, as well as a
light buffet and glass of wine.
A Wisbech Society spokesman said: “There is no premium for non-members, so the party represents an ideal opportunity for those keen to know more about the society to come along and learn more while enjoying convivial company and the beautiful surroundings of a gem in Wisbech’s heritage.
“The strength of the society to drive improvement in and around the town, and secure the preservation of its most important buildings is directly proportional to the size of its membership.

“The results of the society’s most recent and ongoing work will be on display to inform and inspire – among them its success in returning Dann’s Clock to Wisbech, taking a leading role in the Wisbech High Street Project, creating Lambert’s Walk and helping improve the church gardens of St Peter and St Paul.”
This year’s annual weekend outing will be a trip to York on September 19-20. It will be led by Peter Clayton.
