Annual Oktoberfest celebrations to return to Manchester with two-week ‘Bavarian extravaganza’

Annual Oktoberfest celebrations are set to return to one of Manchester city centre’s most popular venues in a few weeks time.

Manchester is gearing up for a two-week “Bavarian extravaganza”, as Albert’s Schloss has unveiled its programme of Oktoberfest-themed events for this year, packed with plenty of bier-fuelled fun, foodie classics, and round-the-clock revelry.

Over the years, the much-loved Peter Street venue in the heart of the city centre has become “the ultimate purveyor of Bavarian bliss” in Manchester, and 2024 is expected to be absolutely no different, as Schloss is promising to bring a whirlwind of celebrations once Oktoberfest kicks off later next month.

Throughout the 16-day event, revellers are invited to head on down to Schloss and enjoy an array of activities.

Running from 21 September through to 6 October, Schloss’ annual Oktoberfest celebrations this year will include everything from ‘Keg Tapping’, and specially-selected beers, to must-see “eclectic” entertainment, a live Oompah brass band, best dressed competitions, and a whole host of other games and activities.

Away from all the entertainment, it wouldn’t be Oktoberfest without the ‘bier’ to wash it down with, right?

Luckily, Albert’s Schloss is known for that, of course, and just as it does every year, will be serving Munich’s ‘Big Six’ – making it the only venue in Manchester to serve all six of the legitimate Oktoberfest beers synonymous with the festival.

The classic lineup includes Höfbrauhaus, Löwenbräu, Augustinerbräu, Paulaner, Hacker-Pschorr and Spaten-Franziskaner. 

As well as the ‘Big Six’ and a collection of other beers, Schloss’ beloved Cook Haus will also be offering Oktoberfest classics too, like crispy Bavarian Schweinshaxe pork knuckle, and a whole section dedicated to Schnitzels and the traditional Bratwurst.
