Oompah music is to fill the air at the Harrogate Convention Centre with the district's own run of the German beer festival taking place from Friday.

The beer hall style tables will be brimming with Bavarian food, three types of beers, cider and prosecco, while there will also be a chance to claim a prize for the 'most authentic Bavarian outfit' for revellers who take up the traditional lederhosen and dirndl.
