The original and the best. As students we had heard of this mythical place called Didsbury where there were twelve magical pubs which allowed totally drunk idiots to appear for 30 minutes mess up everything and then leave. We knew we needed to do this - but how. Helped by the internet and student folklore we went.... The bus took us further south in Manchester than we had ever been before, Fallowfield had been our safe area - our oasis - we had no need to go here. What magic we found there, somewhere at the end of the #43 Magic Bus route!

About the Didsbury Dozen |
|
Often referred to simply as ‘The Dozen’ is a twelve–pub pub crawl situated primarily in East Didsbury, an affluent suburb of Manchester.
The Didsbury Dozens origins are often disputed – many believe it's due to there originally being only twelve pubs in the Didsbury Village - maybe it's just because it sounds nice.

The Route |
|
|
There are a few variations of the route but the most commonly used tries to avoid the more chainy bars which are increasingly replacing the traditional public houses in Didsbury Village and avoid bouncer ego clashes with trainer clad Dozener's.
Most participants normally finish the day off with a curry in the nearby Rusholme, often referred to as the ‘curry mile’.

Myspace ~ Run by Phil this myspace has some great photos and tries to keep the dozen community feeling all year.
The Dozeners' Club ~ 'The Dozeners' Club - Incorporating Old Gentlemen of St. Anselm Drinking Society' A site run by some ex-University of Manchester students - we don't know them but I like their style!

I moved to Worcester in August 2006. I loved the history and small feel of this lovely city in the West Midlands... but something was missing. Yup - A twelve pub, pub crawl. Luckily my new work colleagues shared this view and Joe come up with the name Worcester Wassail - after quietly looking up what a Wassail was I agreed. So here it is my first, original pub crawl. 2007 Will be it's third year and it's growing in popularity!
