Prost to Tradition: Nomad’s 4th Annual Oktoberfest Returns on 27th September

Paulaner

After three roaring editions, Nomad is back with the fourth Oktoberfest—and this time we’re leaning into the roots. Join us on Saturday 27th September for an evening of brass-powered revelry, the finest German beer, clinking steins, and a splash of lederhosen.

Why September?

In past years we’ve celebrated over the August bank holiday, but for 2025 we’ve decided to embrace the traditional Oktoberfest spirit: it properly belongs in late September. This year’s shift means more authentic timing, cooler crisp air (just enough), and a chance to raise a stein before the autumn settles in.

What’s in Store

• Live Music from Penclawdd Brass (Umpa) BandExpect foot-stomping, heart-thumping, horn-blaring fun. The talented chaps from Penclawdd Brass will bring their signature “umpa” energy—think polkas, sing-alongs, and the sort of brass-driven joy that makes you want to join the conga line.

• Authentic German Beers & SteinsWe’ve curated a selection of the finest German brews. Whether you favour a crisp lager, a malty Märzen, or a rich dunkel, there’ll be something to whet your whistle. Served in proper steins because, let’s be honest, beer tastes better when it’s clinked.

• Lederhosen, Dirndls & Dress-Up EncouragedCome dressed in your Bavarian best. Lederhosen, dirndls, feathered hats—don’t hold back. There’ll be photo moments, atmosphere, and a few surprises for standout outfits.

Tickets

Tickets are £5 per person and will go on sale on Wednesday 27th August at 12:00 (midday) via our website. It’s first come, first served, and past events have sold out—so set

your alarms and be ready to grab yours as soon as they drop.
