Manchester Oktoberfest Events 2026

Did you know at Oktoberfest 2018, attendees drank a jaw-dropping 7.5 million litres of beer? It’s pretty impressive. But we reckon Manchester could top it - we love a good beer or three. 

But if a variety of delicious German beers in colossal steins isn’t enough to get you out of bed on an autumn weekend, perhaps the electric Oktoberfest atmosphere will. 

With oompah bands to lift your spirits, all the German pretzels and bratwurst your little heart desires, and long Bavarian benches, Oktoberfest is about more than just beer. It’s an experience. 

Stunning food and drink in a lively social atmosphere, Oktoberfest is a cracking celebration that’s perfect for enjoying with the family, friends, that special someone, or even your work mates. Check out what Manchester Oktoberfest events are going down now.
