CBSO presents: SYMPHONIC SESSIONS: Oktoberfest

Symphonic Sessions returns to Hockley Social Club on Thursday 18th September, and this edition promises to be a big one. The CBSO will be taking over the warehouse for an Oktoberfest-inspired night of Bavarian traditional folk, lively polka rhythms, and a few unexpected contemporary classics thrown in for good measure.

The space will be transformed for the occasion, complete with long tables, flowing beer, and all the brass you can handle. Expect a proper celebration of music, culture, and community — with an atmosphere that’s part concert, part beer hall.

As always, there’ll be top street food and a fully stocked bar to fuel your evening — with a little extra beer on the menu this time (it is Oktoberfest, after all).

Tickets go on sale at 5pm Friday 23rd May via cbso.co.uk — don’t hang about, this one’s going to fill up fast.

VENUE: Hockley Social Club
PRICE: £12
RUNNING TIME: Doors open at 5:30pm. Live music from 8pm.

AGE RESTRICTION: Please note that Symphonic Sessions at Hockley Social Club is for ticket holders aged 18 and above.
