The Angles Theatre, is situated in Alexandra Road, Wisbech and there
is ample car parking within two minutes walk.
Built in 1793, The Angles Theatre is the third oldest surviving
Georgian theatre in the country. With the front row of the audience
right on stage, it is a fine example of an intimate theatre with
lively audience participation.
Featured here are the Nine Lives Theatre Company cast from the musical
Fame that they staged at the Angles Theatre in June 2008. Nine Lives
is the public face of the College of West Anglia’s Performing
Arts Team, and they particularly value having a proper theatre in
which to do their rehearsals and the performances.
Wisbech is justifiably proud of its parks, gardens and open spaces
which total more than 36 acres. Wisbech Park itself is over 11 acres
within the Bowthorpe Conservation Area, and is just a short 5 minute
walk from the town centre. This traditional Victorian park dates
back to 1869 when the original 19 acres of land was given to the
Corporation of Wisbech. Since 1974 it has been managed by Fenland
District Council, with tremendous support from the “Friends
of Wisbech Park”. 
There are over 240 mature trees; a Bandstand Grade II (1908); Memorial
Column to Richard Young Grade II (1872); bowling greens; children’s
play area; tennis courts; football pitch; shrub beds; bedding displays;
wild flora area and several sculptures carved from old tree trunks.
In 2008, the Park was awarded a Green Flag, which is the national
standard for parks and green spaces in England and Wales, judged
against seven key criteria: a Welcoming Place; Healthy; Safe and
Secure; Well Maintained and Clean; Environmental Sustainability;
Biodiversity and Heritage; and Community Involvement and Management.
