SWAPTOBERFEST

To celebrate Sober October, award winning alcohol-free beer brand Mash Gang, is turning tradition on its head by hosting the UK’s first ever Swaptober Fest – a booze free twist on the infamous Oktoberfest.

With steins of Mash Gang’s signature Chug, live German oompah music and authentic bratwurst, Swaptober Fest will be one of the biggest and best Bavarian parties, celebrating true Oktoberfest style, without the hangovers.

The event will take place on Thursday 16 October, between 5-10pm at one of the nation’s ancestral homes of brewing, The Tetley in Leeds. In the spirit of the event, guests are encouraged to swap an alcoholic drink on the door to gain entry to Swaptober Fest.

Featuring a series of Bavarian-themed games and challenges, Swaptober Fest will also give revellers a chance to win a year’s supply of Mash Gang. Try your hand, and test your arms, with ‘MASHkrugstemmen’, a spin on the traditional Oktoberfest stein-holding competitions.

The event is open to everyone, but spaces are limited, so revellers are encouraged to turn up early to avoid disappointment.
