NOTICE ABOUT SUMMER WALK THIS EVENING
t looks very much as though the weather has conspired against us for our "summer" walk this evening. However, as the saying goes, the show must go on! So, we have a plan to ensure that we are able to share all the elements we had planned for you for the evening, without us having to be soaking wet.
The plan is to meet at the Heritage Centre at 7pm. (NOT at Woodgate as the marquee has no sides and no power so probably wouldn't be that comfortable in the rain and the wind!)
Beer and Nibbles will be available (as will wine!)
I will then lead you through an illustrated seated talk without leaving the Heritage Centre to give you all the information I would have shared on the walk - and some extra bits too! (dogs still welcome obviously!)
The route will also be available for you to take away so that you can enjoy the walk when the weather is feeling kinder!

The Pubs and Inns of Aylsham
The current exhibition is all about the history of the 30 + inns and pubs which have traded in Aylsham. This gives lots of opportunity to explore the history of the town too, and how the pubs supported and benefited from some of the trades and transport links in Aylsham. The information is taken from the new publication from Aylsham History Society 'A new history of Aylsham pubs and inns'. Lots of information to explore and games and activities for children too.
