Alton Towers Oktoberfest Returns: Bavarian Food, Drink and Entertainment

Experience the festive magic of Alton Towers Oktoberfest! Enjoy Bavarian music, themed food, and late-night rides at the UK's biggest theme park event.

Get ready to dust off your lederhosen! Alton Towers Resort has officially confirmed the return of its fan-favourite seasonal event, Oktoberfest. Bringing a massive dose of Bavarian cheer to the heart of Staffordshire, this themed festival is set to transform the lawns into a vibrant oompah-inspired wonderland for guests of all ages.

Authentic Bavarian Atmosphere at Alton Towers

Seasoned visitors will be thrilled to see Oktoberfest back on the 'What's New' calendar. The event traditionally features the ‘Bavarian Terrace’ at the bottom of Towers Street, where the park is filled with the sounds of live oompah bands and traditional folk music. This family-friendly event allows guests to enjoy the resort's world-class rollercoasters alongside themed entertainment that runs well into the evening. To ensure you don't miss out on the pretzels and bratwurst, you can book tickets here to secure your spot at the festival.

Exclusive Perks for Merlin Annual Pass Holders

For those who plan on visiting the resort multiple times during the seasonal calendar, the event offers a fantastic opportunity to maximise the value of your membership. Merlin Annual Pass holders often get to enjoy the distinct atmosphere of Oktoberfest as part of their year-long access to the park. With the German-themed food stalls and unique seasonal beverages on offer, it is one of the most popular times of the year for pass holders to soak up the unique atmosphere without missing out on the thrills of Forbidden Valley or X-Sector.

Thrills and Steins: Alton Towers Rides in the Dark

One of the biggest draws of Oktoberfest is the extended opening hours, often allowing guests to experience their favourite Alton Towers attractions after the sun goes down. There is nothing quite like plunging into the black hole of Oblivion or racing through the trees on Wicker Man while the festive lights of the Oktoberfest village glow in the distance. To guarantee your entry for this popular season, book tickets here before they sell out.

If you want unlimited access to seasonal events like this and more throughout the year, now is the perfect time to invest in a Merlin Annual Pass. Keep your eyes on the official Alton Towers app for specific showtimes and the full menu of Bavarian treats available during your visit!
