What does beer, bratwurst, and a Norwich city centre venue have in common?
The answer: Oktoberfest Norwich.
OPEN Norwich, home of the OPEN Youth Trust, will be bringing the German beer festival to East Anglia in 2017, complete with European entertainment and continental food.
The venue at Bank Plain will be transformed into a traditional Bierkeller, opening for the festival on Friday, October 6, and Saturday, October 7, 2017.
Three sessions will take place over the two days, one on Friday evening, and two on Saturday afternoon and evening.
Tickets are currently on sale, with an early bird price of £10 including a specially branded limited edition Oktoberfest Norwich Bavarian beer glass.
