Edinburgh Oktoberfest
When Thu 8 – Sat 10 OctWhere Central Hall, West Tollcross, Edinburgh EH3 9PBPrice From £5 general admission; Bavarian package from £35
Proper long-bench, stein-clinking Oktoberfest energy, now guaranteed against Scottish weather by moving indoors to Central Hall — genuine imported Bavarian FestBeer, bratwurst and pretzels, with a live band keeping the room on its feet. Communal seating means you end up chatting to whoever lands on your bench.
Three days of sessions across the weekend, from a Friday lunch sitting to a full Saturday evening — easy to build an afternoon or a proper night out around, depending which ticket you go for.
Never miss the good ones
We send the weekend's best hand-picked days out every Thursday. Free.
