Bournevaria Oktoberfest brings the South Coast’s largest indoor Oktoberfest to the Windsor Hall at the Bournemouth International Centre across the weekend of 26–27 September 2026. The hall is turned into a Bavarian beer hall, with German food and beers, live entertainment and long benches for a lively autumn celebration spread across multiple sessions.
What to expect
The formula draws on Munich’s famous festival: steins of German beer, hearty Bavarian food and live entertainment to keep the singing and toasting going. With sessions running across the weekend there’s a party atmosphere throughout, and traditional dress is very much part of the fun. The exact programme and session details are confirmed by the organisers closer to the day, so check the official listing for the latest information.
Planning your visit
The Windsor Hall is the largest space at the Bournemouth International Centre, which sits right on the seafront in the heart of town — an easy walk from the beach, the Lower Gardens and plenty of places to eat or drink before or after. Sessions are usually for over-18s and tend to sell by slot, so book ahead through the venue’s official listing, where you’ll also find the latest times, prices and tickets.
