🍻 Oktoberfest Opening Weekend Round Up 🇩🇪

What a weekend to kick things off…

The steins were raised, the b**rs were flowing and the Sandford Park Bierkeller was well and truly brought to life. A packed marquee, plenty of laughter, great food, live music and some Oktoberfest spirit made for a brilliant opening weekend.

Seeing the marquee full of people enjoying themselves, raising a stein with friends and making memories is exactly what we wanted to create!

We might be biased, but we think we’ve created something pretty special… a little taste of Munich at The Sandford Park Alehouse. 🍻

But the celebrations aren’t over yet.

Join us this weekend, 2nd–4th October, for more Oktoberfest fun, including…

🍺 Traditional Bavarian food
🏆 Games and prizes to be won
🎶 Live music
🍻 Plenty more steins, Prost’s and good times

If you missed opening weekend, don’t worry, there’s still time to join us in the marquee.

Grab your mates, raise a stein and come experience Sandford Park Bierkeller.

Prost! 🇩🇪

Oktoberfest returns to Sandford Park from 21st September – 4th October, and this year, we’re getting competitive. 👀

🍺 Steinway to Heaven

Then on Friday 25th September, we’ll officially open the Bierkeller with the tapping of the first barrel.
