On Saturday (October 28) the MK Biergarten and York House are collaborating to celebrate the most famous of all German beer festivals.
York House Community Centre will play host to a traditional German Oktoberfest bar, Bavarian food and oompah style music.
In the main room of York House, staff in traditional Bavarian dress will be serving Paulaner Oktoberfestbier, Hacker Pschorr Weissbier and traditional Paulaner lager.
For visitors who would like to toast the event with a local brew, Hornes Brewery from Bow Brickhill will have a small Real Ale bar upstairs.
The brass band Der Huffunpuffers will entertain the thirsty crowds from 7pm with Bavarian style oompah music.
MK Biergarten has made all efforts to keep the event as authentic as possible, while making use of the wonderful range of local businesses the area has to offer.
Various food vendors will also serve hot and cold treats on the day.
Franzi Florack, the manager of the Biergarten says: "Oktoberfest in Germany is a time of community, dressing up in your finest and celebrating the best food and drink Bavaria has to offer.
"As an experienced Oktoberfest visitor myself, the Biergarten has worked very hard to make the event as inviting and authentic as possible.’ This is the second year that MK Biergarten and York House centre are running the festival.
Franzi continues: ‘We had such a great time last year that we really wanted to organise another local Oktoberfest. In 2017, over 450 people came to celebrate this special German festival with us and we look forward to sharing the Bavarian love for beer and a good time once more with the people of Milton Keynes.’
