The German Beerfestival and Market - 'A Taste of the German Lifestyle'

Triebwerk Events are promoting a series of German Lifestyle events, in 25 locations around the country over the summer months. The three day events feature a large Oktoberfest beer tent, market and food stalls, a continental café bar and a kids play area.

Visitors to 'The Folks Fest' events will be entertained all day by a variety of live acts including Oompah, Brass, Folk and Acoustic artists performing on stage in the 600 seater 'Oktoberfest' tent.

Sample Wurst, Schnitzel, Sauerkraut, Bratkartoffel, Northern German Pilsener and Export from the foothills of the black forest, Bavarian Wheat Beers from the world's oldest brewery, amongst a great selection of food and drink..

For the younger family visitor, there is face painting and a children's play area and drama workshops.

"One thing that hasn't materialised in the UK is a family outdoor Festival experience. In Germany we're lucky enough to have events like this regularly and they're always been part of our popular culture. Seeing how many brits experienced the high-points of German lifestyle in 2006 during the World Cup, I decided it was imperative this was brought to the UK!"." Ingo Aicher.

"Folks Fest" will keep its visitors dry come rain or shine with over 1000 covered seats available.

Be entertained, and enjoy a quality family day out at the 'The Folk Fest' in Bustardthorpe Field, Knavesmire, York this weekend.
