Alton Towers Oktoberfest returns for 2021 and despite it being a cracking event last year the park somehow managed to make it even bigger and better than the year before.
This Bavarian-themed festive was trialled at Alton Towers last year and was a big success despite pandemic restrictions.
2021 has allowed the park to expand and build upon last years event and improve in just about every department.
Brand new food stalls (please try the meatballs), a two-story wunder-bar to sit inside and take in the atmosphere, tables and tents as far as the eye can see and the brand new entertainment stage playing shows throughout the day add to this years enhancements.
Last year Oktoberfest was located on the main lawn only but Alton Towers have this year expanded the event into Mutiny Bay with bunting and signage lining the pirate-themed area with the courtyard home to a second stage hosting acts throughout the day and a nice bratwurst stall and bar to go with it.
Thie covered area will certainly be the place to run to when the weather is bad as the main lawn only has two tents with room for around 30 people in each at a push.
Froom oompah bands playing a host of german (and modern) tunes to dancers and the return of Darwin the Dodo there is something for everyone.
Staff members were all dressed up in lederhosen and dancing between the tables which really helped to stir up the atmosphere.
As the day went on and the alcohol was flowing there was more dancing and more atmosphere to get involved with.
I’ve never seen anything like it before at an Alton Towers event and I really felt that escapism at a theme park that I haven’t felt for many years.
Fully immersed in the atmosphere and with enough food and drinks stalls to keep you full and quenched for hours on end Alton Towers Oktoberfest 2021 was an absolute knockout.
The rides are open until 7pm with entertainment at the park going on until 8pm at weekends (please check the official website for weekday times).
