The Lake District is set to host its first-ever annual Octoberfest.

Lanty Slee, a multi-award-winning distillery, will present the four-day festival at the flagship venue The Stickle Barn, in The Langdale Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site, from Thursday, October 24 to Sunday, October 27.

The festival will feature more than 50 different beers and ales, and headline performances from more than 50 artists and DJs, including Radio 1's Charlie Tee, reggae 'legends' Dub Pistols, and Barrow's AIM.

Manchester's Riot Jazz brass band, 'folk favourites' Face The West, and eight-piece ska-reggae outfit Bad Transmission from Ulverston, will also perform.

A full folk acoustic stage will feature Undercover Hippy and other favourites from the area.

The festival will offer a wide range of food and drink options, with breweries such as Bowness Bay, Coniston, Fell Brewery, Tirril The Lakeland Brewery, Langdale Brewing Co, Keswick and Cumbrian Legendary Ales, and Crooked River presenting guest ales, among others.

Lanty Slee will also serve spirits and cocktails in the Cocktail Tipi, and Earthworm Kitchen will provide a vegan street food option.

The festival menu will include everything from bratwurst to burgers and hog roasts to mac and cheese.

A series of workshops in art, yoga, foraging, guided walks, and more will also be on offer at the festival.

A Sip & Paint session with Millie Scribbles will allow festival-goers to create a unique souvenir inspired by the Langdale Valley.

Sam Dixon and Joe Nichols, Octoberfest directors, said: "We feel privileged to have the opportunity to organise a celebration of this scale for Langdale and the wider Cumbrian region.

"We have wanted to introduce a locally focused event to bring together our rural community and worked hard to source and collaborate with the very best suppliers and creative professionals.

"We want this festival to be a respectful celebration of the beautiful valley it sits within."

Full weekend tickets, which allow access for four days, start at £60.50 for adults and £22 for children, with day tickets priced at £22.

Bell tents and campervan sites are available from £367.50 and £49.75 respectively.
