A little cloudbusting over the fields this evening as we settle into June and another busy season at The Dabbling Duck.

One week since our Beer Festival, and we’re definitely feeling the post-festival blues! 🍻

We welcomed so many wonderful faces over the weekend, but as always, our locals fully embraced the fun — and somehow many of them ended up in my photos wearing increasingly silly outfits. 😂

A few favourite snaps from a fantastic weekend. Thanks again to everyone who joined us and helped make it so special. ❤️

THE OFFBEAT COLLECTIVE 2 PM - 4 PM SUNDAY 31ST MAY @ THE DABBLING DUCK BEER FESTIVAL.

The Offbeat Collective formed in Norwich from a collective of seasoned musicians and fresh local talent, quickly making waves with near sell-out shows at the Norwich Arts Centre. With five songwriters in the line-up, including a melodic female vocalist, they fuse reggae, funk, soul, and pop into a sound that’s bold, creative, and unafraid to play off the beaten path. Delivering infectious rhythm, soulful vocals, and vibrant brass energy. Known for their dynamic originals and fresh twists on crowd favourites and redefining regge.

As we head into our Beer Festival and celebrate 20 years of The Dabbling Duck, we thought it was about time we actually got a photo of the three of us…

10 years ago Mark, Sally & Dale, joined the pub working side by side. Same vision, plenty of graft, and a lot of laughs along the way.

From Steve Kilham and Dom Symington taking on The Duck 20 years ago, to where we are now — it’s been quite the journey.

If you fancy the full story, grab this month’s @klmagazine

(Steve & Dom are a bit camera shy… so they opted out of the photos 😄)

Just 5 minutes up the road from us, @houghton_hall

Just 5 minutes up the road from us, @houghton_hall is hosting Lynn Chadwick, his first major exhibition of the British, post-war artist in two decades.
Curated by Pangolin London, the exhibition spans four decades of Chadwick’s work, featuring rarely seen pieces alongside some of his most iconic sculptures, set throughout the historic interiors, grounds and parkland of Houghton. An unmissable show this spring.

Opening 2 May — and perfectly paired with lunch, dinner or just an alcoholic beverage back at the pub after your visit. Tickets available online.

LOTTIE GRAY, SATURDAY 30TH MAY 2PM - 4PM @ THE DABBLING DUCKS BEER FESTIVAL.

22-year-old singer-songwriter Lottie Gray blends pop, folk and Americana into something truly captivating.

Inspired by Joni Mitchell, Taylor Swift, Maggie Rogers and Bruce Springsteen, her music is raw, emotive and beautifully honest.

After a huge 2025 playing Latitude Festival, touring Europe and performing with Britten-Pears Arts, Lottie is one to watch — with her debut EP landing in 2026. 🎶
