Lancaster Brewery in Lancaster, Lancashire, is bringing back FrühlingsFest 2026 — promoted as a Bavarian-style beer weekend — for two nights on Friday 27 and Saturday 28 February 2026. The event transforms the brewery’s Brewhouse & Tap into a German-style beer hall to give residents a social boost during the quiet winter months.

Visitors can expect a busy atmosphere with long communal tables, steins and a live oompa band leading loud drinking songs. The brewery will serve traditional snacks such as bratwurst and pretzels alongside its own beers and schnapps.

Tickets for the evening sessions are available online (including via Skiddle). Evening sessions have historically sold out weeks in advance, so booking early is advised.

People can also purchase event vouchers as gifts through Regalo Gifts. The celebration takes place at Lancaster Brewery & Brewhouse Tap, Lancaster Leisure Park, Wyresdale Road, Lancaster, LA1 3LA.

The weekend is expected to help local hospitality businesses, with nearby hotels and guesthouses often seeing more bookings from visitors attending the Saturday session.
