The festival promises to serve up a staggering 35,000 litres of beer over the five-day event, alongside a mouth-watering array of German sausages. Catering to all dietary requirements, the menu will feature classic bratwurst and spicy currywurst, as well as gluten-free and vegan options.

Nick Jackson, Event Director, enthused about the upcoming spectacle: "Over the years, Oktoberfest has become more of a staple in UK diaries, bringing traditional Bavarian fun to UK shores. What better way to celebrate the German tradition of enjoying a stein or two than by bringing it to life with the UK's biggest Oktoberfest?"

Beyond the food and drink, visitors can enjoy live brass bands playing traditional Bavarian music, fairground rides, and stage games including keg-tapping competitions. Photo booths will be on hand to capture memories of the festivities.
