Saturday is market day in Hertford and the town has many coffee and food outlets. If you are in town before our start why not pop into Hertford Museum – on the first floor there are display cases with artefacts from Hertford’s former breweries and pubs. Or visit Hertford Tourist Office Information Centre at 10-12 The Wash to find out more about the town and to pick up a copy of the new 2023 Hertford and Ware Real Ale guide leaflet – it’s free.
