Spalding, in the peaceful South Lincolnshire Fens, with acres of sky and
sunsets, is a town that has to be seen to be believed! Georgian terraces
front the tree-lined River Welland which runs through the centre of the
town. Overlooking the river stands Ayscoughfee
Hall and Gardens, which were given to the people of Spalding. The
beautiful late-medieval Hall once belonged to a wool merchant. Today
it houses a museum depicting life in the area over the centuries. Entry
is FREE to both the museum and the breath-taking gardens.
Spring is flower frenzy time around the bulb fields, originally Tulips,
now Daffodils, growing in the rich soils reclaimed from the marshlands.
The town comes alive for the famous Spalding Flower Festival each
May. When thousands visit to see bucketfuls of colourful spring flower
heads decorating the procession of carnival floats, as they make their way
through the streets and along the riverbank. Bands, colour, excitement, a
great atmosphere the whole weekend!
Spalding's vibrant Town Centre boasts a superb selection of shops,
supermarkets, department stores, butchers, greengrocers, bakers and an award
winning bookshop to name but a few. The twice-weekly market sells
everything from fresh produce to household goods, flowers and clothing. The
South Holland Centre offers a wide range of arts events throughout the
year, including theatre, dance, jazz, folk, comedy, childrens shows and
cinema.
If you are looking for something unusual or stylish, Spalding has a
