Hampshire OctoberFest is back for another year and will be bringing over a 100 real ales, as well as ciders, craft beers and two wine and gin bars. There is live music on the Friday and Saturday and all paying tickets include a free festival pint glass and an event programme and list of all the beers selected and looked after by CAMRA.

In addition there will be a range of craft and food stalls so plenty to keep you busy over the weekend. The Friday night is the ever popular ‘Works Night Out’ so a great opportunity for work colleagues to celebrate the end of the working week.

The event has been established for 10 years, and this year has been taken over by Destination Basingstoke who are known for putting on great events that showcase the Basingstoke area.

Tickets are available from the website, which are cheaper in advance and may have limited availability on the door.
