The annual Witney Oktoberfest which heralds the start of Witney Feast takes place this weekend.
For one day you only you can enjoy some of the best local beers plus live music and food inside beautiful, medieval St Mary's Church on Church Green.
The festival is also a great chance for visitors to see the best beer and lager from the local area, this year supplied by craft local brewers Little Ox Brew Co based in Freeland, Witney.
So whether you’re new to the world of beer or consider yourself a real ale expert, there will be something for all tastes.
There will also be live music throughout the day from an oompah band to help provide the perfect festival atmosphere.

The annual charity beer festival this year takes place on Saturday September 10, starting at noon and ending at 7pm.
Organisers say it offers a chance to celebrate as a community and tables will be dotted around where drinkers and friends can take a seat and enjoy some of the delicious food on offer to help mop up all that delicious German-style beer.
The boozy celebration marks the start of Witney Feast before the traditional Golden Gallopers church service formally opens the fun fair the next day when thousands of people from West Oxfordshire and beyond are expected to flock to The Leys for two days of fun on Monday and Tuesday.
