What’s on in Birmingham: Our guide to Oktoberfest events in the West Midlands

Since its first celebration all the way back in eighteen ten, the Oktoberfest has been an important part of Bavarian culture. And with the holiday bringing with it copious amounts of beer drinking in Giant Steins, plenty of Bratwurst to be had and live music galore, its not hard to see why its made it across to us here in Birmingham. If you're looking to celebrate the festivities, why not head to Zumhof from the thirtieth of September for all of the above and more. Staying with Digbeth, Dust off your ledherhosen and celebrate Oktoberfest over at Luna Springs for much of the same.

If the food is the most appealing part of the occasion for you, The Bond has got you covered on the seventh of October with their Oktoberfest Food Festival. This event will be celebrating all the different types of food enjoyed around Oktoberfest - so think chicken schnitzels, bratwurst, German doner kebabs and more - suitable for the whole family.

And finally - is Heidi's Bier Bar on Broad Street. With a live Oompah band, DJ, food, drinks and an atmosphere that will transport you straight to the heart of Germany. - That's all for now, whatever you get up to, have a good one!
