The biggest Oktoberfest in the North West is coming to Liverpool’s Sefton Park.
The huge event will run across five days in September and October, with a Bavarian food village and entertainment from The Amazing Bavarian Stompers. Oktoberfest will run from September 28 - October 2.
The Bavarian food village will be serving a range of traditional German food from sauerkraut to Bratwurst, roasted meats to dumplings and pretzels, with authentic Bavarian beer from acclaimed brewery Maxlrainer on hand to wash it all down. As well as evening sessions on each day of the festival, there will be afternoon entertainment at the weekend, with plenty of time to enjoy everything that’s going on, in and around the big top.

The Bavarian Brewery of the Year will be presenting the event and making sure the authentic Bavarian look and feel is present in Sefton Park throughout the week. Located about 50km outside Munich, Maxlrainer is one of only 12 breweries to have been awarded the title of Germany’s Brewer of the Year twice.
Festival-goers can expect entertainment from The Amazing Bavarian Stompers - the first British comedy Bavarian oompah band booked for a major German bier festival - as well as all the fun of a fairground and more.
Darren Gilligan, Oktoberfest Liverpool MD and founder, said: “We just know that everyone is guaranteed a great time because there’s always a fantastic, party atmosphere at these events. German bier is the purest beer in the world,” says Darren. “It’s been brewed since the 1600s and the German government have a purity rule with four ingredients; hops, malt, water and yeast. You don’t feel bloated, and you don’t feel full of additives that are in normal bier - it’s the best bier in the world."
Kevin McArthur, also MD, added: “Oktoberfest has really caught on over the last couple of years in the UK and it just keeps getting better and better. It’s something to really look forward to, and we have made sure that, at this one in Liverpool, there is something for everyone - so you can get your mates down, you can get your family down, and you can experience an authentic Bavarian party."
Four varieties of beer will be on offer, with Helles, Zwickl Max, Schwarzbier, and Kirtabier - which is brewed exclusively for Oktoberfest - all on the menu. Liverpool Oktoberfest will run from September 28 - October 2 at Sefton Park.
