Oktoberfest Liverpool organisers have announced a new date for the event.
The original event at the city’s Exhibition Centre was due to coincide with the start of traditional festivities in Munich on September 20 but will now be held on October 4.
Sponsors Bavarian brewer ABK revealed it has chosen the city to showcase its Oktoberfest beer which will be available alongside traditional festival favourites.
More live entertainment and extra fairground rides have also been added to the celebration of Bavarian culture which will now take place on the city’s waterfront.
Sessions will run from 12pm to 5pm and 6pm to 11pm on the day.
Kev McArthur from Oktoberfest Liverpool said: “We’re thrilled that ABK has again chosen to partner with us to host this year’s event.
“With more VIP huts, a live oompah band and DJ, a wider range of drinks and snacks as well as host Kam Wojtow from Beer Guide Worldwide, this year’s show is set to be our best yet.”
Lucy Slater from ABK said: “We have a great relationship with the city and look forward to being part of what has become a key date in the calendar.
“We’re also offering anyone who buys a ticket for the event an opportunity to win a trip for 3 to Germany, including a tour of the ABK brewery.”
Tickets are priced from £13.50 with VIP huts for up to eight people at £495 available at www.ticketquarter.co.uk
