People are being offered a chance to immerse themselves in the vibrant culture of Germany at Trowbridge's Oktoberfest.

The event will take place at the town's Civic Centre on Saturday, October 19.

In Germany, the Bavarian Oktoberfest held in Munich from September 21 to October 6 is one of the world’s biggest folk festivals with a tradition going back 189 years.

It usually features parades, live music concerts, fairground attractions, beer tents serving from 9am to 11.30pm and lots of food and trade stalls.

Now those behind the Wiltshire event are pledging to transform the centre into a hub of Bavarian festivity over four nights.

The venue will be adorned with all the traditional hallmarks of a Bavarian Bier Halle, featuring blue and white décor, disco balls and chandeliers.

There will also be colourful drapes, communal bench tables, and a stage set for live music.

A spokesperson for centre said: "This is a night not to be missed. For an evening filled with beer-drinking, sausage-eating, lederhosen-wearing, table-dancing, and merry-making, book your tickets now to secure your spot, or you'll regret missing out."

It will cater to the tradition with a selection of Bavarian classics, including the renowned Bratwurst and sauerkraut and Frankfurters.
