AN ALMOST AUTHENTIC OKTOBERFEST
Saturday September 26th [2pm - 8pm]
Raise a tankard and join us for the very first Almost Authentic Oktoberfest at the Taproom! Inspired by the world-famous Bavarian festival, we're putting our own Yorkshire twist on the festivities with plenty of brewery-fresh Rooster's beers, including our limited-edition collab with Green Cheek Beer Co. (California, USA) brewed for the occasion. Alongside these will be a carefully selected range of authentic German lagers, delicious festival food, a lively oompah band, traditional festival games and prizes for the best-dressed Oktoberfest revellers.

Saturday September 26th, across as six-hour session between 2pm and 8pm. The Almost Authentic Oktoberfest will be taking place in the Taproom and beer garden.
How accessible is the event?
The Taproom is wheelchair accessible. In the case of poor weather, we will move from the beer garden to The Sample Room, which is only accessible via a staircase. Some other areas have more limited accessibility - please get in touch if you have any questions relating to this.
What does the cost of a ticket cover?
The event is budgeted to break even, with a variety of costs needing to be covered in order to pull it off. Here’s a brief breakdown of some of the costs the ticket price covers: Security and first aid • Event staffing • Additional event toilets • Paying the bands, DJ's and musicians • Staging, sound management and other associated equipment • VAT @ 20%
Why do children over 10 need a ticket?
Children aged 11 and over require a ticket because they are counted as full attendees at our Oktoberfest event. Our ticket numbers are based on venue capacity, staffing, seating and event facilities, so every guest over the age of 10 needs to be included in our overall capacity.
We want to make sure the event is safe, comfortable and enjoyable for everyone, and that we can properly plan for the number of people attending.
Will the Taproom be open to non-Oktoberfest goers on the day?
No, the Taproom will be closed on Saturday September 26th, operating purely for the purpose of the Almost Authentic Oktoberfest between 2pm and 8pm. It will be open as usual on both Friday September 25th and Sunday September 27th.
