23 fabulous photos from Oktoberfest at Scarborough's Open Air Theatre

Bavaria came to the coast on Saturday night as Oktoberfest returned to Scarborough’s Open Air Theatre Tipi Venue for its seventh year.

The popular tented venue was transformed into a traditional German beer hall, serving up authentic brews, sizzling bratwurst, and non-stop festive spirit.

Partygoers donned leather lederhosen and dirndls to dance the night away, fuelled by steins and lively brass tunes from the Yorkshire Oompah Band.

The festive cheer kicked off on Saturday October 17 at 7pm and kept the seafront buzzing well past midnight.

See the best moments captured by Scarborough News photographer, Richard Ponter.
