At Oktoberfest Southend, we aim to ensure that everyone can enjoy our festival, so we try our best to make the Oktoberfest site as accessible as possible.
Just as we prepare for all conditions we do ask that you do to. So please consider the ground conditions and unpredictable British weather when deciding what facilities you may need and what equipment you need to bring.
