Hinckley came alive on October 11, 2025, as residents and visitors gathered to celebrate the Hinckley Oktoberfest, a lively festival that brought a taste of Bavarian culture to the heart of the community. Held from 2pm to 10pm on Regent Street, the event was organised by Hinckley BID in collaboration with The Clarence and Baton Rouge and attracted a diverse crowd eager to partake in the festivities.

The first-ever Hinckley Oktoberfest featured a delightful array of attractions, including live music performances that kept the energy high throughout the day. Local food vendors showcased their culinary talents, offering a variety popular local favourites. Attendees enjoyed a wide selection of beverages, including beers and seasonal offerings, supporting all our local hospitality making it a true celebration of our businesses and community spirit.
