Oktoberfest Events

Oktoberfest

Beer and sausages are the easy part; getting people to compete is what makes it a party

We run the game side of a real Oktoberfest: a team beer pong tournament, a strength table and a fairground hammer to see who lasts longest, axe throwing as an eye-catching challenge, and a live brass band so the whole thing sounds like a Bavarian party from start to finish.

An Oktoberfest gets set up with beer, sausages and music, but what keeps people around for three hours instead of one is having something to do between rounds. Team beer pong turns any group of colleagues into two sides with friendly rivalry, and the strength table or fairground hammer give that moment of physical challenge everyone wants to try even while saying they won't.

It's a format that works equally well in a company garden, a warehouse or an outdoor hospitality space running its own edition of the festival. What changes by venue is mainly the number of game tables and whether there's room for axe throwing, which needs a fenced-off area for safety.

The live brass band ties the mood together: it moves through the space playing festival tunes and lifts the energy between games, instead of letting the music sit in the background while people queue.

Team beer pong, not just a loose table

We organise a knockout tournament with a ranking, so the game runs the whole afternoon instead of burning out in the first twenty minutes.

Strength and aim for those who want to compete

Strength table, fairground hammer and axe throwing: short, eye-catching physical challenges, great for taking on colleagues in front of everyone.

A brass band that sounds like Munich, not a playlist

Live music moving through the space, lifting the mood between rounds without needing a stage or a DJ.

How we set it up

  1. Tell us about the space and headcount

    Indoors, garden or terrace; how many hours of party and whether you want a formal tournament or free play.

  2. We propose the game line-up

    How many beer pong tables, whether to add the strength table and axe throwing, and when the brass band plays.

  3. We check safety and space

    Axe throwing needs a fenced area; we check this against photos of the venue before confirming.

  4. We set up with margin and stay to the end

    Staff present through the whole tournament to referee, host and pack up afterwards.

Formats and ideas that work

  • Team Beer Pong tournament with knockout rounds
  • Strength table for direct challenges between colleagues
  • Classic fairground hammer as an eye-catching strength test
  • Axe throwing for those after precision, not just strength
  • Live brass band moving through the space during the party
  • Two-minute bar challenge as a quick, competitive test

When to book and what can be decided at the last minute

September and October see most of these parties, so it's worth booking three or four weeks ahead to secure the brass band and the number of game tables you need.

The exact tournament format, number of rounds and the brass band's schedule can be adjusted up to a few days out; what needs fixing early is the date and the venue, since that's what determines how many tables fit.

Frequently asked questions

Is beer pong actually played with alcohol?

It adapts to the crowd: at company events we usually play with water or a non-alcoholic drink and keep the beer separate, so the tournament stays under control and doesn't exclude anyone who doesn't drink.

How much space does axe throwing need?

A fenced area of around 4x6 metres with a target and a safety barrier behind it. If the venue can't fit that, we suggest alternatives like the strength table or the fairground hammer.

How many people can join the beer pong tournament?

The knockout format handles fairly large groups, typically 20 to 80 people spread across several tables playing in parallel.

Does the brass band play the whole time or in blocks?

It's usually split into 20-30 minute blocks through the party, to lift the mood without drowning out conversation the rest of the time.

Can it be set up indoors, say in a company warehouse?

Yes, almost every game works indoors; axe throwing is the only one that needs a closer check on ceiling height and space before confirming.
