Bierkellers, lederhosen-clad musicians and bratwurst sausages - it could ONLY be Alton Towers’ hugely popular Oktoberfest event . This weekend marked the return of the resort’s German-themed festival, transforming part of the 500-acre Theme Park into a Bavarian-themed venue, complete with seasonal food, beer and live entertainment.
Manchester Evening News took a trip to the Staffordshire-based Resort to enjoy the festivities, sample the traditional Deusche cuisine, ride the Wicker Man and make a ‘Prost’ - the German toast - in the bierkeller.
During our visit, we made note of everything on offer, as well as prices and entertainment, so that you know what to expect at this ‘oomptastic’ event.
