Norwich's beer festival scene

Norwich anchors Norfolk's festival calendar, and it does so with a deep love of cask. This is a city where a proper pint is part of the fabric.

Its best-known events celebrate real ale through the colder months, with a serious cider and perry selection alongside. Historic pubs and city venues keep the scene busy well beyond the headline festivals.

Get to know the local brewers on our Norwich breweries guide, then see what else is on across East Anglia.
