THE SPINNEY – Wisbech adventure playground

If you haven’t been to The Spinney yet, you’re missing out on one of Wisbech’s genuine hidden gems. It’s got your slides, zipline, sandbox and water feature, but what really sets it apart are the converted narrow boats and a repurposed bus that kids can actually use as a workshop space — we’re talking proper artisan skills and app design, not just a climbing frame. The staff here are genuinely committed, and you can tell they actually care about the kids who come through. Families tend to stay longer than they planned, partly because there’s so much going on across all age groups, and partly because the open grass field gives everyone room to just decompress. Parking, picnic tables, benches, and loos on site mean you can make a proper day of it without any faff.
