A North Yorkshire sausage factory is staging a traditional German Oktoberfest featuring a foot long banger!

The event, at HECK’s Bedale HQ is this Saturday October 5 from 2pm to 8pm, will also offer plenty of food, drink, music and entertainment.

Set in a giant heated Oktoberfest tent with plenty of traditional bench seating, the event promises all that is great about the legendary autumn festival without having to travel all the way to Germany to experience it.

For one day only, HECK! will be plating up a very Northern take on the Bavarian celebrations, swapping its popular pork bangers for footlong Bratwursts, with Steins of German Pilsener, a Wine, Gin & Jagër station and a range of soft drinks to wash it all down.

Yorkshire’s very own Oompah Band will be setting the scene throughout the day.

This authentic German Oompah Band, complete with lederhosen, will be performing a repertoire of traditional Bavarian drinking songs and dances, as well as popular songs in an Oompah style.

These full-time professional musicians, based in Yorkshire, play all over the UK and visitors are also welcome to don lederhosen and dirndls, with prizes handed out for the best-dressed on the day. Classic Oktoberfest games will also be played.

Not forgetting furry friends, well-behaved dogs on leads are welcomed along.

HECK’s Amy Seed said: “Last year’s Oktoberfest was a sell out and this year we’re back with a fun day out that’s even bigger and better.

“This year’s Oktoberfest is a great seasonal celebration. With sausages at the heart of our business and beer the perfect partner for a bratwurst, we wanted to bring some of this Munich magic a little closer to home – all with a Yorkshire twist of course!”
