Frülingsfest: Beer festival dubbed ‘Oktoberfest’s little sister’ happening in Nottingham this week

A huge beer festival known as ‘Oktoberfest’s little sister’ is happening in Nottingham this weekend. 

On Saturday, April 27, Binks Yard is hosting its very own spring beer festival ‘Frülingsfest’, in association with Bavarian beer brand Hofmeister. 

The event will take place between 4pm and 10pm on the Binks Yard terrace, under the cover of its new stretch tent. 

On arrival guests will be given a free schooner beer, which is included in the price of the ticket. 

A traditional Bavarian oompah band will be on hand to provide some authentic German ambience throughout the day and evening. 

A range of German beer will be available, including Hofmeister’s authentic Bavarian lager, Helles, and its Weisse wheat beer. 

Tasty food, including bratwurst hotdogs and currywurst loaded fries, will also be sold at the event. 

Arpita Anstey, Marketing Director at Binks Yard said: “For many years Oktoberfest has been a firm staple in the calendar of beer lovers over in Munich as well as here in the UK. 

“However recent years have seen Munich’s Frülingsfest gain popularity amongst beer fans who want to recreate the fun and atmosphere of Oktoberfest in spring too.

“We’ve decided to bring the popular festival here to Binks Yard, where visitors will be able to experience a piece of Bavaria right here in Nottingham.”

Tickets for Frülingsfest are priced at £10 and can be purchased here.
