A new, German-style beer festival is coming to Cardiff this weekend.

The Cardiff Beerfest is heading to the Welsh capital for three days of special-brewed Bavarian beer, traditional oompah music and an abundance of lederhosen.

Taking place on Roald Dahl Plass in Cardiff Bay , the boozy event is being held from Friday, May 11 to Sunday, May 13 .

It'll be open from 4pm-11.30pm on the Friday, 11.30am - 11.30pm on the Saturday and 12.30pm-7.30pm on the Sunday.

And the event is being run by the same people behind Cardiff's successful Oktoberfest. Organisers said: "This time we bring three special beers, all 5% strong, directly from a small brewery close to Nuremberg. It's a craft beer (a wonderful lager), a Weissbeer (wheat beer) and our Festbeer."

The decision to double drinkers' fun was made after Cardiff Oktoberfest 2017 proved a runaway success, and the latest addition to the calendar will combine the elements of the original Bavarian event with some serious beer garden vibes.

"We thought is was a little cold in Cardiff in September, so this year we'll party when it's nice and warm," says organiser Carsten Raun.

"The Plass will be transformed into a 500-seater beergarden, along with a 1,500 capacity party tent."

Seated tickets to the event cost £6 and can be booked on the Oktoberfest website , however people can just turn up at the free beer garden, according to the organisers.
