HISTORY WITH A PINT (OR FOUR).
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, organising a stag or hen do, planning a team social, or just after a unique way to explore the city, Norwich Pub Tours offers a proper good time for groups who love history and pubs in equal measure.
We take you on a walking tour through Norwich’s cobbled streets, with stops in 2-4 of the city’s most historic and character-filled pubs. At each one, you’ll have a chance to grab a drink, but also hear some of Norwich’s most unforgettable stories — the kind that rarely make it into guidebooks.
Think brutal murders, plague-ridden alleyways, rebellions, witch trials, and a hidden underground shoe factory you never knew existed. Our stories are as strong as the ales we sample — and just as full of character.
We’re not your standard historical tour. We blend proper storytelling with pub culture to create something genuinely memorable. Expect plenty of laughs along the way, fascinating tales, and maybe even a few surprises. Our tours are crafted to be fun, engaging and a bit cheeky — all while shining a light on the people and places that shaped Norwich over the centuries.
Perfect for groups, our tours are designed to be a great laugh, but also genuinely interesting. Whether your group is local or visiting from afar, you’ll leave with stories to tell and maybe a new favourite Norwich pub.
Suitable for all ages, our tours can be tailored to the occasion — whether you’re looking for something family-friendly or a bit more edgy. (Yes, we can tone down the gruesome bits if needed!) We’re proud to be rated 5 stars on TripAdvisor, and regularly host groups from across the UK and beyond.
We run tours all year round and can often adapt timings to suit your group. Fancy starting earlier in the day? Want to focus on spooky stories? Celebrating a birthday and want to add a surprise? We’ll do our best to make it work.
Our starting point is always central, and the whole tour is on foot — but we keep the pace gentle, with plenty of time to sit, sip and soak it all in. No scripts, no dry lectures — just great stories, great pubs, and a guide who knows Norwich like the back of their pint glass.
So, if you like your history with a side of humour — and maybe a beer chaser — Norwich Pub Tours might just be the highlight of your time in the city.
