We're back for our seventh year running and expect it to be bigger and better than ever before.

Our Seasonal Markets team collaborate with The Old Crown for another year to bring you our legendary Oktoberfest extravaganza at Factory Works, Digbeth!

Our Seasonal Markets team collaborate with The Old Crown for another year to bring you our legendary Oktoberfest extravaganza at Factory Works, Digbeth! As usual, we are decking the venue out with our traditional German Oktoberfest decor, and reserved seating for groups with more than 6 people (upon request). There will be seating available for everyone, but they will be shared tables. 

What would an Oktoberfest be without beer?! Of course, we have classic German beers that will definitely be right up your street and if beer isn't for you, we're keeping our bars stocked with German gin, German wines and Oktoberfest themed cocktails too. Alongside our drinks offering, we have the likes of Yardbirds bringing you traditional German schnitzel, as well as The Bournville Waffle Company creating a menu curated to all things Oktoberfest - think apple strudel waffles & more.

Expect a ton of Oktoberfest entertainment including DJ's, live bands, and lots of traditional Oktoberfest games and not-so-traditional games! We will also be bringing back the return of the best-dressed competition this year too, so whip out your lederhosen this 'Oktober'. 

This is one heck of an event, and like no other. So come on your own, or gather a bunch of your friends, or maybe it's your turn to arrange an office outing - just make sure you get involved with this completely immersive and unique 'German' experience. Tickets are £15 which gets you entry to Digbeth Oktoberfest, reserved seating for groups larger than 6 people (made upon request), a full lineup of DJs, bands and entertainments. (reservations are held between 6:00pm - 7:30pm).

Tickets are £15 per person.
