Oktoberfest!

Oktoberfest at The Mute Swan

We’re bringing a taste of Munich to Hampton Court for our inaugural Oktoberfest!

We’ll be getting things underway on Friday 25th September at 6pm in traditional Oktoberfest style, with the ceremonial tapping of the first keg. From there, the beers will be flowing, with a mix of keg and cask to work your way through.

And where there’s beer, there are brewers. We’ll be joined across the festival by our friends from Adnams, Sambrooks and Wimbledon Brewery, who’ll be talking you through their Oktoberfest-inspired beers, with plenty of samples along the way.

Our courtyard will be transformed for the occasion, with beer hall-style seating and an Oktoberfest menu to go alongside your pint – or stein. Expect plenty of festival favourites, including pretzels, schnitzel and bratwurst.

There’s no need for tickets or bookings; simply come along and join us. We’ll have a selection of German beers, including Benediktiner, Bitburger, Löwenbräu and Köstritzer, alongside Oktoberfest-inspired brews from some of our local favourites.

We hope you’ll raise a stein or two with us. Prost!
