Following its hugely popular debut in 2021, York's very own Oktoberfest makes a welcome return for its fifth anniversary this autumn with beer, bratwurst and all things Bavarian. Step inside the giant fully-styled marquee, fill your stein with delicious beer from Brew York, grab a tasty bite from our German-inspired food stall and head to your table for some hearty fun with friends.
Yorktoberfest follows in the traditions of the first Oktoberfest staged in Munich in 1810 where the citizens were encouraged to eat, drink and be merry at the wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria and his princess bride. So much fun was had that an annual tradition was born…
The internationally-acclaimed Bavarian Strollers live oompah band will take to the stage with their thigh-slapping, foot-stomping, toe-tapping, belt-out, feel-good music, as well as the traditional drinking songs!
All together now... "To the left, to the right, forwards, backwards, stand up, sit down and DRINK!"
Acclaimed drag artist and star of the show Velma Celli will add to the party atmosphere with her powerhouse vocals and outrageous humour! So dig out your costume and dancing shoes!
Plus we have further live entertainment to be announced soon!
Our rustic Bavarian Bar will not only keep you refreshed with a range of delicious beers from Brew York, but for those who prefer not to 'hop' there will be a choice of wines, prosecco, spirits and soft drinks. The Dog Haus will be serving delicious bratwurst, currywurst and schnitzel as well as apple strudel and pretzels!
So get your legs into the Lederhosen or don a Dirndl - or any other fancy dress – there’s lots of fun to be had at Yorktoberfest!
Prost! - Cheers!
