Grab Your Stein – Oktoberfest Is Coming to Ripley!
Friday 2nd & Saturday 3rd October 2026
Dust off the lederhosen and practise your best “Prost!” because Oktoberfest is taking over Mary Lou’s Smokehouse & Craft Bar in Ripley for two days of beer, food, music, competitions and good times.
We’re giving Mary Lou’s a Bavarian makeover for the weekend, bringing together German beer, Oktoberfest-inspired food, DJs, live entertainment and plenty of ridiculous competitions.
And because Mary Lou doesn’t believe in doing things by halves, your £10 ticket includes entry AND your first 1 litre stein of beer.
Tickets are available now – get yours before they’re gone!

5pm – Midnight
Clock off, grab your mates and get yourself down to Mary Lou’s.

German Beer, Big Food & Mary Lou’s Mischief
It wouldn’t be Oktoberfest without beer.
We’ll be pouring the good stuff throughout the weekend, with German beer served by the stein alongside a special selection of food fit for a proper Oktoberfest feast.
Come hungry, come thirsty and leave any sensible behaviour at the door.
Whether you’re joining us for Friday night, making a full Saturday of it or gathering the whole gang for an Oktoberfest knees-up, expect the usual Mary Lou’s combination of
big flavours, loud music and just the right amount of trouble.
Think You’ve Got What It Takes?
It’s not all about drinking beer. Well... not all about drinking beer.
We’ll have hosted competitions and entertainment throughout Oktoberfest weekend, giving you the chance to prove yourself against your mates and your fellow festival-goers.
There’ll be prizes, bragging rights and almost certainly some decisions you'll have to explain the following morning.
All will be revealed at Mary Lou’s...
Your £10 Oktoberfest Ticket Includes

- DJs and entertainment

All you need to bring is yourself, your mates and a willingness to raise a very large glass.
Prost!
