Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway will turn Tan y Bwlch into a German-style beer hall for its ‘Iron Stein Summer Oktoberfest’, with long communal tables, premium lager, and a sociable evening atmosphere.

Guests attending the event can expect themed surroundings, music, and a three-course German-inspired meal designed for sharing. The menu will include giant pretzels, bratwurst, and Black Forest gâteau, alongside oompah-style music and a selection of beers served throughout the evening.

Entry tickets will be available at the door at Tan y Bwlch, priced at £20 per person. Admission pricing includes all food served during the event, although drinks are not included.

Passengers holding a three-day Event Rover or Saturday Day Event Rover ticket will be able to travel free of charge on Shuttle Trains operating between Porthmadog and Tan y Bwlch. 

The same tickets will also be valid on other Saturday event trains serving the location.

Visitors without Rover tickets can purchase standalone Shuttle Train tickets for £29 per person.

The event is intended to combine railway travel, traditional food, and beer hall entertainment in a relaxed setting.
