and live on Freeview channel 276
The inaugural Portsvaria Oktoberfest will bring a taste of Bavaria to the English coastline with a range of beers, bratwursts and live music to enjoy.
The event was announced last month, after it was revealed the one run by the team behind Victorious will not return this year due to a busy schedule for organisers.

Hide AdIt wouldn’t be Oktoberfest without copious amount of beer and as it is an 18 plus event there will be a range of German-style brews to get you in the Bavarian spirit, but there will also be soft drinks available.
There will also be German themed food – so expect bratwursts.
You will be required to bring ID.
Is there going to be live music?
Ja, it wouldn’t be Oktoberfest without a band to encourage you to get drinking and singing.
Live oompah band, The Bavarian Strollers, will provide the soundtrack to the event and to help to get you dancing down the aisles.
Should I come in fancy dress?

Hide AdFancy dress is optional but encouraged and there will be a prize for the best dressed.
So if you have a lederhosen it might be worth putting it on before you head down to the Pyramids.
