Norwich City of Ale Walking Tours – Historic Pubs and Strangers and Huguenots

Norwich City of Ale Walking Tours – Historic Pubs and Strangers and Huguenots

This year the 11th Norwich City of Ale festival, which runs from Thursday, May 26 to the end of June, is marking the impact of the Strangers, religious refugees from the Spanish Netherlands, who arrived in Norwich between 1566 and 1578. The festival also features new beers brewed in collaboration with Flanders-based breweries.

Paul Dickson Tours is running a series of walking tours during the festival, which look at the stories behind Norwich’s Historic Pubs and celebrate the Strangers and French Huguenot refugees.
