You all know we are huge fans of Alton Towers and try to visit the theme park as much as possible throughout the season. Along the way we love to join in with the events that Alton Towers host throughout the year. From 7th September Alton Towers will be transformed into the German festival Oktoberfest. The festival will take place until 29th September and you can enjoy all the fun and entertainment of Oktoberfest included in your admission fee.
What to expect at Alton Towers Oktoberfest
For those not familiar with the festival, Oktoberfest. Oktoberfest, annual festival in Munich, Germany, is held over a two-week period and ending on the first Sunday in October. The festival originated on October 12, 1810, in celebration of the marriage of the crown prince of Bavaria, who later became King Louis I, to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen.
Alton Towers bring the fun of the festival to the resort offering delicious food, live entertainment and of course, beer.
When you enter Alton Towers you will be greeted with German music, blue and white decorations and the smell of delicious food in the background.
If you head to the front lawn you will see a huge Oktoberfest entrance leading to a variety of food stalls including churros, brownies and marshmallows.
You will see the Wunder Bar to the left of the stage which has a range of German beers on offer. You can choose to purchase a pint at the bar or head to the souvenir stall first and purchase a stein glass. Then you can head back to the Wunder Bar where they will fill up your stein which averages about 2 and a half pints.
There are plenty of picnic benches on the front lawn where you can sit and enjoy your beer and snacks or you can sit upstairs in the Wunder Bar however seating is very limited to just a few tables.
The live entertainment stage which has been a permanent fixture over the past few months has a variety of entertainment including german dancing which was a crowd favourite.
If you are familiar with the resort you can head to the Bierkellar which is situated in the courtyard in Mutiny Bay. Undercover seating options are available here with live entertainment throughout the day. This year Oktoberfest has extended from the theme park entrance and front lawn to the whole of Mutiny Bay.
Anything Else?
As well as enjoying the German fun you can also enjoy all your favourite rides.
Opening times do vary so be sure to check out the opening times schedule. The park closing is anywhere from 5-7pm depending on the day.
Oktoberfest is included in your ticket price so is no extra cost to you.
Head to the resort before the 29th September for your chance to join in all the fun.
To extend your fun you can stay over at one of the many choices of accommodation at Alton Towers.
