Oktoberfest brings a taste of Bavarian culture to Cambridge that doesn’t just mean beer, but bratwurst, schnitzels and pretzels too.
A huge tent on Jesus Green, which can accommodate 1,200 people, hosts the event across a long weekend from 8 to 11 September.
The tent will be laid out with long tables, feature an authentic blue and white theme and waiters dressed in dirndl and lederhosen.
Authentic German beers will include Underberg and a Bavarian band will perform everything from oompah tunes to schlager music – think Germany’s answer to ‘easy listening’.
Entry is free on the Thursday, Friday and Sunday, and is £5 on Saturday. You can then buy beer and food as you wish, or alternatively, seat reservation packages combined with food and drink are available.
There are also offers available for Sunday lunch, so you can let the family enjoy Bavarian culture.
