Burnham & Highbridge Band will be swapping their traditional sounds for Bavarian beats this Saturday (October 11th) as they transform into an Oompah Band for Ad Astra Cider Farm’s Oktoberfest 2025 near Wedmore!
The lively event returns for its second year and runs from 6.30pm to around 9pm at the Stone Allerton venue.
Visitors can expect an evening of German-inspired fun, including bratwurst, currywurst, steins of German beer, and of course, plenty of Somerset cider.
The band will be performing in full Oktoberfest spirit, complete with “dodgy looking Lederhosen,” promising a night of music and merriment. Tickets are limited and the event is strictly for over 18s. See online.
