Oktoberfest Derby 2024 features beer hall, bands and bratwurst at Bustler

Oktoberfest is set to delight Derby crowds at Bustler’s annual event in the city later this month.

Oktoberfest is a real celebration of German beer, bratwurst, Oompah musicians - part of a Bavarian brass band - and wider German culture.

Bustler in Derby will host their Oktoberfest event at The Chocolate Factory on Saturday October 12, 2024.

This year’s event is set to be ‘bigger, louder’ and with more German beers on offer.

Organisers at Bustler said: ‘We'll be transforming our factory with all the traditional Oktoberfest decor, beer hall style seating, steins, Oompah bands, tasty street food and a host bringing all the Bavarian fun & games. It is going to be a blast!”

There are two sessions, each lasting five hours, available on the day.

The first one runs from 12pm till 5pm. The second runs from 6pm till 11pm.

The over-18 event features The Bavarian Strollers, a leading Oompah band who will be playing at both day and night sessions.

What is Oktoberfest?

Oktoberfest is a traditional German festival combining a beer festival with travelling funfair.
