From Thursday 24 October to Sunday 27 October, the Royal Hotel and Ferry Inn in Stromness host our own beer festival with a wide selection of local and visiting cask, keg and bottled beers from across Scotland and beyond. With our Viking Feast at the Ferry Inn on Friday evening, Viking Games on Sunday afternoon, live local bands from 10-late on Friday and Saturday nights and pub sessions aplenty, this weekend provides a warming start to what will likely be another blustery Orkney winter. The highlight, our torchlit parade and galley burning, take place on Saturday evening with the opportunity for all to join in, see www.orkney.com/events/orktoberfest-fire-maet-ale-2024 for details.
Orktoberfest 2024 returns with fire, maet, ale and music. Our hybrid Viking themed beer festival is back after a prolonged C19 induced break.
