“There will be new German beers on draft, German-themed cocktails, and music throughout the event. And yes, the staff will all be in Oktoberfest themed uniform too!”

Visitors are encouraged to dress in traditional Bavarian outfits like Lederhosen and dirndls - a traditional German dress - for the full experience.

The festivities will close on Sunday with a creation station offering free crafts for children.
