Bavarian beer bars
XL bier steins
Live oompah bands
Live music
Gourmet bratwurst
Pretzels
A mini trader village
A photo booth
Lederhosen
Singalongs
Basically, expect long tables, loud music and a very high chance that your group will end up joining in with a song you didn't expect to know.
What food and drink will be available?
Beer is understandably a major part of the Oktoberfest experience, with Bavarian-style beer served in traditional oversized steins.
Food options advertised for the event include German bratwurst and pretzels, giving you the full beer-and-sausage Oktoberfest combination.
There will also be a mini trader village as part of the event.
If you're planning to spend the full five-hour session there, we'd definitely factor food into the day rather than attempting several steins on an empty stomach.

Campbell Park
Milton Keynes

How do you get to Oktoberfest Milton Keynes?
If you're driving, The Parks Trust recommends using the centre:mk car parks near the John Lewis end and following the Redway bridge into Campbell Park.
Given that this is Oktoberfest, public transport, taxis or a designated driver are probably worth considering if you're planning to drink.
Accessible parking is available close to the Events Plateau on Avebury Boulevard, with additional accessible parking available in city-centre car parks. Wheelchair-accessible toilets are also available on site.
What should you wear to Oktoberfest Milton Keynes?
There isn't a requirement to dress in traditional Bavarian clothing, so normal festival or going-out clothes are absolutely fine.
But if your group wants an excuse to commit to a theme, this is definitely the event for it.
Expect to see plenty of:
Lederhosen
Dirndls
Checked shirts
Bavarian-inspired accessories
Campbell Park is an outdoor venue, even though the main Oktoberfest experience takes place inside the large tent, so we'd still dress for Milton Keynes in October and bring an extra layer.
