Beer, bratwurst and bumper cars will be back at York Racecourse this October, as Yorktoberfest returns.

Last year’s event was such a success that it sold out even after extra dates were added.

The 2022 Yorktoberfest will run from Thursday 20 to Sunday 23 October and from Thursday 27 to Saturday 29 October.

Yorktoberfest will follow in the traditions of the first Oktoberfest staged in Munich in 1810, bringing all things Bavarian to a giant beer tent in the Clocktower Enclosure at York Racecourse.  

New this year, live band the Bavarian Strollers will perform thigh-slapping, foot-stomping oompah tunes as well as feel-good disco classics.  They’ve been programmes such as Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Alan Carr Chatty Man.

International drag artist Velma Celli, who mesmerised 2021 audiences with her powerhouse vocals and outrageous humour, will be back. The alter ego of York’s own Ian Stroughair, Velma has wowed audiences from Australia to New York, and from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to London’s Hippodrome. 

The wearing of Lederhosen, Dirndls or any other fancy dress is encouraged – with nightly competitions and prizes for the best dressed.

The Bavarian Bar will serve authentic German beer as well as a range of wines, Prosecco, spirits and soft drinks. And the German-inspired food includes sausages, schnitzels and pretzels as well as vegan and vegetarian options.

Yorktoberfest will also have its very own traditional funfair rides in the form of Dodgems and a Twister.

Tickets for Yorktoberfest are now on sale here. priced either individually at £20 for standard and £30 for VIP, or in tables of six at £120 for standard and £180 for VIP.

Once again it promises to be an evening of hearty fun, with beer, bands, and bratwurst, not to mention a sensational drag queen!  It’s time to get your friends together and start planning the party!”
