Description

Good to Know

Our Private Oakham Pub Tour isn’t just a pub tour but also visits some of the oldest and most characterful parts of the market town of Oakham and we will see castles, churches, market squares, and all sorts of other history along the way. A drink for each person in each pub is included in the tour price though of course, soft and sometimes hot drinks are available if preferred. We normally meet outside Oakham Railway Station which is easy for day-trippers from London (also Nottingham, Peterborough, and Leicester) but this tour is also perfect for anyone staying in one of the lovely hotels in Rutland, all just a short taxi ride away. If you’re staying in Oakham itself, I can meet you at your hotel.

Alcoholic beverages

A free beer/ale/cider etc or soft drink for each person in every pub is included in this tour.

Statue of Elizabeth II, Oakham

It's not often Oakham makes the news, but the unveiling of the first and only memorial statue to the late Queen Elizabeth in April 2024 was that time. Come and see it for yourself. Personally I think the corgis make it!

Stephen is the fountain of all knowledge!

We thoroughly enjoyed our first trip to Oakham and benefitted from Stephen’s excellent guide skills and organisation as we visited some local hostelries full of atmosphere, friendly welcomes and plenty of history. So wonderful to be able to visit the Norman castle hall as part of the tour and to hear so much about the local area. Stephen was great company to be with and is a true fountain of all knowledge; imparting an amazing array of facts about the local location but also general historical i...read more

Team building beer tour

Fantastic experience! My colleagues and I were in Corby for work and decided to join Stephen’s beer tour — it was a truly enjoyable and fun experience!

Fabulous time! Please sign up for Stephens tours

Stephen is an absolute delight! He is full of a wealth of knowledge and tells funny stories. We celebrated my Dads birthday doing the pub tour of Oakham and through Stephen it’s come to be one of our favourite locations. Because we enjoyed Stephen so much we will be doing more of his tours when we are in town. We highly recommend anything he runs….you won’t be disappointed!

Fun and Interesting way to spend an evening in Oakham. Highly Recommend

Stephen is extremely well versed in all things historical and is also very personable. We had a fun tour around town visiting four pubs with a drink included at each stop. He had anecdotes about the pubs’ history and also lesser-known facts about the town I grew up in. Entertaining for locals and visitors - a perfect balance of history and beer! We look forward to doing another one of Stephen’s tours in the future. Especially as he is totally open to customize any tour to suit your interest...read more
