This includes vegetarian food options alongside a range of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. So grab a spot at the banquet tables and get ready to tuck in to the mouth-watering menu. All of this is accompanied by authentic blue and white Bavarian decoration and live music to make you feel like you’ve been transported straight to Germany. 

The Bolton News:

Manchester Oktoberfest began in 2014, making this the eighth year that the festival is returning. This year is special however, as Oktoberfest is here for two weekends in a row; due to COVID restrictions the festival was cancelled in 2020, so for this year Oktoberfest is here for a second weekend. That means Manchester Oktoberfest 2021 spans a whole seven days of fun and festivities.

Two of these days offer special deals to students and families. Wednesday is student day; students with a valid student ID can purchase a ticket for £3.50 which includes entry to the tent and a stein of beer. Sunday is also special as children under 18 are welcome to join the Sunday lunch event, so families can enjoy everything that Manchester Oktoberfest has to offer together. The student ticket offer is also valid on this day.

Manchester Oktoberfest 2022 dates are as follows:

Thursday 13/10

Friday 14/10

Saturday 15/10
