Oktoberfest Nottingham 2026 (Evening Session)

Experience authentic German music by one of the UK’s top Oompah bands, enjoy officially licensed Oktoberfest beer and expect to be immersed in our beautifully dressed pop-up German beer hall. Oktoberfest Nottingham is back at The Garage. THE FESTIVAL The Garage undergoes a stunning transformation, as we turn it into a beautiful Bavarian Beer Hall. Blues and whites, the traditional Bavarian colours, adorn the ceiling, while long lines of rustic tables and benches cover the entire floor. Packed with up to 500 guests, you'll find yourselves linked arm-in-arm with complete strangers as you're guided through the traditions of Oktoberfest by one of the UK's best Oompah Bands. With their typically dry German humour, they'll get you up and dancing, playing games and locked in surprisingly fierce competitions with the whole tent. Not forgetting, of course, singing plenty of the best and most recognisable songs played in their unmistakable style! Who ever said Livin' On A Prayer shouldn't be played on an accordian?! THE BEER Flown in from Munich, 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 turns the night into an unforgettable one for you and your friends. 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 Weissbier. Enjoy draught ciders, wines, spirits and shots from the main bar.
