Elgood’s is a family-owned Brewery situated on the North Brink
of the River Nene. It is a classic Georgian Brewery, built in 1795,
and is surrounded by a 4-acre garden. Both the  Brewery
and the Gardens are open to the public from May to September.
The garden was redesigned in 1990 by Claire Simpson, a member of
the Elgood family, and is an inviting haven for garden-lovers. It
has been carefully designed to cater for everyone, including those
who are disabled. Mature specimen trees, planted over 250 years
ago, provide a framework within which “feature gardens”
are laid out. Visitors are able to wander round this peaceful oasis,
exploring the lake area, rockery, water garden, herb garden, lawns
and a challenging maze planted with Thuya and laurel.
A Brewery tour followed by sampling of Elgood’s Prize-winning
Beers and a stroll around the garden provides the visitor with a
unique experience.
A Garden Show & Craft Fair is held on the Second Sunday of May
and the First Sunday in September each year. Contact 01945 583160.
Wisbech Town Council provides plots on several allotment sites in
