Docktoberfest is back at Docks Academy this autumn, and for 2026 we’re bringing it back with four dates across September and October.
Join us as we once again turn the venue into a full beer hall setup, with long tables, steins, live music and everything you’d expect from a proper Docktoberfest night.
Four dates to choose from
This year’s Docktoberfest takes place on:
Each night runs from 6:30 pm and takes over the full Docks Academy space.
Live music across all dates
We’ve got two of our favourite live bands soundtracking the nights this year.
Opening things on Saturday 19th September, The Anthems bring their high-energy set packed with indie, rock and singalong favourites that are built for a full room and a few steins in hand.
For the remaining three dates, Scribble Victory take over, delivering the kind of set that keeps the dancefloor busy and the tables loud from start to finish.
What to expect
Docktoberfest is all about the atmosphere. Expect long beer hall tables, steins included with your ticket, and a room that fills up quickly as the night gets going.
We’ll have a range of beers pouring, including German-style favourites alongside our own Docks Beers brews, plus plenty to keep you going from the bar throughout the evening.
It’s a social, high-energy night built around great beer, live music and a packed room — whether you’re coming as a group or joining in on shared tables.
Tickets on sale now
