Oktoberfest 2015 will take place on the 24th - 26th September once again the the magnificent court yard of Exeter Castle.
This year Oktoberfest will be enhanced by the Castle's own mini festival where we will celebrate a month of rugby related activities.
Celebrating local music talent, local caterers, and local ale all thrown together with a Bavarian twist. Friday and Saturday we have sourced the best local bands to play a great mix of your favourite covers and some of your not so favourite, and showcasing some of their own music.
