A food and drink venue in the heart of Norwich will be transformed into a summer beer hall as part of a city-wide festival. 

Norwich City of Ale returns from May 23 to June 23 2024 and Yalm in the Royal Arcade is involved in the celebrations. 

Yalm will host a fortnight of events from May 24 until June 9, featuring tap takeovers from Norfolk breweries.

Then from June 4 to 9, Diss-based Ampersand Brew Co will bring cask beer to the venue, served from a festival-style bar.

This will coincide with the launch of a new beer brewed by the Yalm team at Ampersand – a hazy pale ale called 1899.

Dan Searle, operations manager at Yalm said, "Norwich City of Ale is a great celebration of good beer in the city and our space lends itself lends itself brilliantly to being a beer hall." 

Alongside this, there will be two-pint steins of imported German beers, a craft beer quiz in collaboration with city retailer The Beer Hatch and a weather-dependent outdoor bar.
