Sponsor a barrel, a band, a bar – or the whole shebang.
The festival was established in 2010 by a small group of intrepid volunteers who wanted to raise money for great local causes and bring great beer to Great Ouseburn. In 2026, we’re keeping everything people love about the festival – community spirit, brilliant drinks, local favourites and a cracking atmosphere – while adding a few Oktoberfest-inspired twists for extra fun.
Expect excellent live music, a great range of beers, delicious food and plenty to enjoy throughout the day, with a few Bavarian-style surprises along the way. Think steins, themed specials and a festival feel that’s as lively as ever – just with a cheeky Oktoberfest flourish.
*Early bird ticket prices close midnight Friday 18 September.
