We're delighted to announce that renowned pub heritage expert Paul Ainsworth will be returning to this year's St Albans Beer & Cider Festival to lead a brand new Pub Heritage Tour.

Starting at 3.30pm from the Arena, Paul will lead you on a trail of historic drinking establishments in the city, explaining their fascinating history and how they have changed over the years. This will be a new route, so ideal both for people who enjoyed Paul's tour last year and newcomers.

As well as giving an insight into local pub history, Paul will also reflect on his experience as a national pub heritage guru, having authored several books - including his latest, East of England Real Heritage Pubs.

After the tour, we'll take you back to the Alban Arena to enjoy the final day of the Festival - your admission is included in your ticket. Ticket numbers are limited so don't miss out on this unique opportunity for any pub enthusiast!
