Yorktoberfest returned to York Racecourse with Bavarian-themed entertainment under a Big Top for the first time.

Yorktoberfest returned to York Racecourse this weekend with Bavarian-themed entertainment under a Big Top for the first time. The new venue format added extra energy to the festivities, according to event organisers. The opening weekend featured a dramatic aerial performance from artist Zoe Kulyk, who performed rooftop acrobatics. Drag performer Velma Celli kept audiences entertained with powerful vocals and commentary on guests' outfits.

The Bavarian Strollers, a live oompah band, led the crowd in traditional drinking songs and danced to a mix of oompah anthems and disco favourites. Guests also enjoyed a selection of beers, wines, spirits, and German-inspired food from The Dog Haus. James Cundall, event organiser and CEO of Jamboree Entertainment, said: 'Staging Yorktoberfest in a Big Top for the first time has really ramped up the party atmosphere' and praised feedback from the opening weekend.

Yorktoberfest returns for a final weekend of celebrations on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 October. Standard tickets are £25 per person, whilst VIP tickets cost £35. Tickets can be purchased in advance online or at the entrance, subject to availability. Entry is restricted to those aged 18 and over.
