Edinburgh’s Oktoberfest has been given a temporary licence to operate in Princes Street Gardens this year.

Running from Friday, October 3 until Sunday, October 5, the festival will host almost 600 people in a large tent at the western end of the gardens.

On the Friday, it will run from 4pm until 11pm, on Saturday from 11am to 11pm, and on Sunday from 12.30am to 7.30pm.

The celebration has run since 2013, with this year’s incarnation set to host 599 people – though its website states it will hold 1,000.

Rentals for Lederhosen and Dirndl are available – however, the website says that if visitors are willing to lose their rental deposit, they ‘can just also keep them’.

Student tickets, only usable on the Sunday, will be available from £10, with general admission running from £15 most day
