NO2 POUND ST - OKTOBERFEST
No2 Pound St presents Oktoberfest Wendover!
Oktoberfest Wendover started during the 2020 lockdown, when No2 created booths of tables on the Manor Waste, carefully distanced to comply with COVID restrictions. James, the owner of No2, was inspired to raise funds for Macmillan having had first-hand experience of the brilliance that Macmillan Cancer Support gave him and his family. Since then, No2 has raised thousands for this essential charity that lost so much during the pandemic. Profit from Oktoberfest will be given to Macmillan Cancer Support.
Ashbrook Park, Aylesbury Road, also known as Castle Park, is the new home of No2’s Oktoberfest, kicking off on Friday 7 October at 6pm, concluding on Sunday 9 with a raffle given by BBC journalist and presenter Nigel Barden. There will be the classic lines of tables seating 400 people in a huge Oktoberfest Marquee. Tickets include a lavish Bavarian meal inspired by celebrity chefs including Cyrus Todiwala, Richard Corrigan & Phil Vickery amongst others. There will also be live music on the stage as well as entertainment to keep all the family amused.
There are four timings available: two evening sittings, Fri 7 and Sat 8 from 6-10pm and two family times, Sat 8 and Sun 9 from 12 – 4pm.
Thanks to immense sponsorship from Masons Coach Hire, based in Long Marston, there will be a shuttle service to and from local towns and stations. Profits raised through the shuttle service will also be given to Macmillan Cancer Support.
Running alongside, separate from Oktoberfest, will be No2’s Artisan Pavilion. The Pavilion will house some exceptional handpicked artisan food, drink, and crafters. Additionally, set around the Artisan Pavilion will be a series of street food vendors and bars including a covered area to sit and enjoy your food and drink whilst listening to live music. To attend the Artisan Pavilion tickets are just £5, and all profits from ticket sales will go to Macmillan Cancer Support. Guests who are attending Oktoberfest will have free entry to No2’s Artisan Pavilion. The Artisan Pavilion is open Friday 7th from 5 – 9pm, Saturday 8th from 10am – 9pm and Sunday 9th from 10am – 4pm.
No2 thank the following for their generous support: DSM Fabrication Ltd, Masons Coach Hire, and Love Food Events Ltd, for their amazing help with the contacts, paperwork and hardware.
