Oktoberfest

Oktoberfest returns to The White Rock on Saturday 7 November, with two sessions to choose from: 1.00pm to 5.00pm and 7.00pm to 11.00pm. It's built around the Bavarian festival, so you'll find beer, pretzels and bratwurst alongside games and entertainment throughout the day.

The music comes from Oompah Brass, a five-piece brass group they describe as the UK's original rock 'n' roll oompah band. The name tells you exactly what they do: they swap traditional polkas for oompah versions of rock and pop hits. The setlist runs from AC/DC, Queen, Bon Jovi and Led Zeppelin through to Taylor Swift and Katy Perry, so it's less about the beer hall classics and more about the songs you already know played on brass.

There's a bit of a dress-up side to it too, with prizes for the best costumes, and the venue pours its own 'Weiβer Stein' (White Rock) beer. It's strictly for over-18s, so you'll need to bring ID and keep in mind that no externally bought drinks are allowed inside.

Tickets are £12 for standard and £22 for VIP, and with the two separate sessions, you can go for the afternoon stretch or the evening one. The White Rock is at Hastings, TN34 1JX.
