From a Georgian feast to Bavarian-themed fun 🍻

Get a taste of Bavaria in the Big Smoke at London Oktoberfest

Like beer/sausages/knee-slappingly catchy oompah tunes? Then you'll liebe London Oktoberfest — a huge, Bavarian-style blowout, popping up in two London locations next month. And when we say huge, we mean huge: since its inaugural edition in 2011, London Oktoberfest has grown to welcome a whopping 10,000 revellers each year.

Head to St Paul's Green in Hammersmith, 17-19 October, or Ealing's Walpole Park, 25-26 October and step inside a giant tent filled with Bierkeller-style tables and decorated in the colours of the Bavarian flag. Here, dirndl and lederhosen-wearing waitstaff serve up gloriously frothy steins of beer — created especially for Oktoberfest in a small brewery outside of Nuremberg — while you enjoy live music and decide whether you want to line your stomach with brezel, bratwurst, or schnitzel (the correct choice is all three!)

Tickets to London Oktoberfest start at £10, with optional add-ons for reserved seating and pre-booked refreshments. Planning a work party? Corporate packages are also available, and there's even a dress-up option, if you really fancy immersing yourself in the Bavarianness of it all. Hit the blue button to choose your tickets and get booking.
