More than forty years ago rose buds were sold in St. Peter’s
Church gardens to raise funds for the restoration of the church.
Over the years the Rose Fair has grown, and other churches and organisations
have joined in to create the popular event that we enjoy today.
Spend a day  in
the Fens and visit one of the finest flower festivals in England.
You will see exotic blooms flown in especially for the Rose Fair,
and traditional British blooms brought together in a themed display
that is guaranteed to take your breath away. The displays are set
against the magnificent backdrop of St. Peter and St. Paul, itself
set in beautiful gardens in the centre of the historic town of Wisbech.
Around the church you can relax in the gardens with their beds of
roses, browse among the bric-a-brac and gift stalls, win a teddy
bear or buy fresh fruit and flowers. Adjacent is the Craft Fair,
and you are within a few yards of the town centre, with its shops
and a market on Thursday and Saturday.
