Beer at the Pier festival returns this month
Southport will see the return of the Beer At The Pier beer festival, described as a ‘vibrant Oktoberfest-themed celebration’. Andrew Brown reports
Beer At The Pier beer festival is back for its second outing in Southport this September – even bigger and better than last year.
This vibrant Oktoberfest-themed celebration has been extended from a one-day to a two-day event, on Saturday and Sunday, September 19 and 20 from midday until late. It is free to attend and family-friendly – dogs are welcome too.
Beer At The Pier is organised by Southport Hesketh Round Table and supported by Silcock Leisure Group, with proceeds raised going towards the local community. It will take place inside and outside Silcock’s Pier Family Restaurant, on the Southport Pier forecourt.
There will be live music to enjoy throughout the weekend. People can savour a selection of German lagers from Wigan Beer Company, plus a choice of German-themed food including bratwurst, sauerkraut, black forest ice cream, donut ice cream, apple strudels and more.
Silcock Leisure Group operations manager Serena Silcock-Prince, said: “Last year’s Beer At The Pier festival went so well that we’re excited to announce we’ll be bringing it back this year, but this time across the whole weekend.
“We have had so much positive feedback from everyone last time who really enjoyed it and wanted to come back this year. This event is very much family friendly. Our Carousel will be operating late, and Silcock’s Funland will be open too.

Everyone from Southport Hesketh Round Table along with the Silcock Leisure Group team will be dressed in Bavarian lederhosen and dirndls – people are welcome to arrive in fancy dress if they wish.”
