Oktoberfest 2025 - Saturday 18th Afternoon Session

Munich comes to the East Midlands at Oktoberfest Nottingham!

With authentic and official Oktoberfest beer and authentic German music by one of the UK’s top Oompah bands, expect to be immersed in an atmosphere that has made Oktoberfest Nottingham one of the events of the year.

BEER

Flown in from Munich, Oktoberfest at The Garage secures 1 of the 6 licenced beers from the official Oktoberfest in Munich.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please rise for the Paulaner Oktoberfestbier.

This pilsner styled lager is made using the glacial waters found underneath Munich and makes up what is one of only six authorised beers sold at the official Oktoberfest in Germany. At 6% it is sure to get you in the stein clinking, bench swaying and song singing spirit that will make this night an unforgettable one for you and your mates.

We’ll also have a range of other drinks available, from our much loved house Helles lager Lukas, courtesy of Thornbridge brewery, to Paulaner’s banana-ry weiss beer.

Enjoy draught ciders, wines, spirits and shots from the main bar.

MUSIC

During our Evening Sessions enjoy truly one of the top Oompah Bands in the entire UK. This band of Bavarian brothers will be treating you to traditional German music as well as sing-along classics and games to play, keeping you entertained well into the night.

With their unmistakable lederhosens and dirndls, the Oompah Band are regulars at some of the UK’s top venues, like the Alexandra Palace, London.

Our Saturday Afternoon Sessions, open to all ages, feature one of the UK’s finest touring brass bands, Deep Down Brass. With hours upon hours of the best and most recognisable songs ever, their set will have you dancing and singing your hearts out.

FOOD

Indulge in a night of great drinks, live music and of course wonderful food at Oktoberfest Nottingham.

Nottingham’s Snobby Butcher, Johnny Putszai, returns for 2025, with a menu featuring his nationally recognises meats.. 

AFTERNOON FAMILY OKTOBERFEST

Although our Evening Sessions are 18+, each year we open to people of all ages at our Afternoon Family Oktoberfest, where you can head down to grab yourself a stein of official Paulaner Oktoberfest beer, some wonderful food cooked by our festival chefs, and enjoy live music from the fantastic Deep Down Brass to entertain you throughout the afternoon.
