‘Shoreditch Oktoberfest’ arrives in London this Autumn promising to be an alternative and immersive take on the traditional Bavarian beer festival. Positioning itself as the “anti-oktoberfest” organisers say “it will be jam-packed full of games for grown-ups, live entertainment, crowd-interaction and challenges like a Bratwurst eating competition. If you’re looking for a traditional 5-hour sit-down sipping Weiss Beir - this isn’t for you”.

Taking place at the timber-clad Last Days of Shoreditch venue – naturally forming the perfect Bavarian setting - in the heart of East London, the event will run on several dates between Friday 22nd September and 6th October. “An array of custom-made décor, cutting-edge production and alpine backdrops will make it a spectacular, fully-immersive experience”.

Entertainment comes in the form of Bavarian break-dancers, street magicians, a David Hasslehoff Karaoke session and the event is hosted by German ‘comedian’ Herr Kuntz Wankmüller. Traditionalists will also be catered for “There’ll be a few traditional elements, like a live Oompah band, but they’ll be playing hits we deem to be right for Shoreditch Oktoberfest!”
