Wisbech Funfair Relocation
We invited members of the public to share their views on the relocation of the funfair in Wisbech, following news that its usual site could no longer be used.
The historic fair, run by The Showman's Guild, comes to the town twice a year for the Mart and Statute Fairs and had, for many years, gone in the Chapel Road car park.
The car park is owned by The National Trust who lease it to Fenland District Council for use as a public car park. The lease ended, and one of the trust's terms for its renewal was a ban on the use of the car park for the funfair, which the council currently hosts.
The council considered other possible council-owned sites to relocate the fair and asked for people's views on which they would prefer. The options were:
- Church Terrace car park (also referred to locally as St Peter's Church car park)
- Somers Road car park
- Wisbech Park
The consultation ran from 28 November to 13 December 2024.
After reviewing the feedback, Church Terrace car park emerged as the preferred choice.
