This year's Oxford Oktoberfest will see shuttle buses running to and from the event every 20 minutes.

As the event's official travel partner, Stagecoach West will provide the services to and from the event at South Park on Friday and Saturday, October 25 and 26.

The shuttle buses will operate every 20 minutes from 3.30pm to 10.50pm on Friday, and from 10.30am to 11.10pm on Saturday.

The buses will depart from Oxford Railway Station, Frideswide Square (bus stop R7), and will drop attendees at Oxford Warneford Hospital and Warneford Lane, a short walk from South Park.

Stagecoach West will also ensure attendees can return safely, with buses leaving every 20 minutes from South Park.

The last bus will leave at 11.30pm on Friday, and at 11.45pm on Saturday.

Chris Hanson, managing director of Stagecoach West, said: "We are delighted to be supporting Oxford Oktoberfest by making sure those attending can get to and from all the fun safely, reliably, and easily.

"Taking the bus is convenient, hassle free, great value, and better for the environment, so we’re urging visitors to leave their cars at home and enjoy all that Oktoberfest has to offer, safe in the knowledge we’ll be there."

The festival will feature an array of activities including karaoke, dancing, fancy dress, games, axe throwing, and live music from an Oompah Band.
