Lederhosen and Tyrolean hats at the ready!  After an incredibly successful inaugural first year in 2023, Folkestone Harbour is proud to announce that it is bringing back Wünder Harbour; its own twist on the much-loved Bavarian holiday that promises to be a celebration of steins, sausages and singalongs.  

This year will see an expanded series of Wünder Harbour weekenders with the harbour hosting three weekends of this Bavarian smorgasbord of activities, food and drink:  21 & 22 September, 28 & 29 September, and 5 & 6 October. 

As well as seeing the return of the much-loved Bettesteiner Footstompers Oompah Band, Wünder Harbour 2024 will see independent traders from across the site occupy The Goods Yard, offering a Germanic twist on much loved menu items. One-off activities to help bring the Bavarian spirit to life are also planned.  

A unique spin on this well known, annual Germanic festival of food, beer and fun times, Wünder Harbour will be completely free to enter.  

A host of mouthwatering Bavarian style food will be served up with more details coming soon – follow @folkestoneharbour on Instagram – but get ready for speciality brews, steins of Bavarian beers, one-off authentic specials, and much more.  

Folkestone Harbour & Seafront Development Company General Manager, Paulo Kingston-Corriea says: “Wünder Harbour was new to our events line-up in 2023, and it proved to be a massive hit. It’s a great, fun way to bring people together with our own unique twist on a well-known Bavarian holiday and kick off the autumn and winter events season down here at Folkestone Harbour.” 

Other events taking place from September to December 2024 include: 

• Folkestone Harbour’s first Shuffleboard Tournament at The Board Room on Thursday 12 September. 

• The Festive Marketplace starts from Friday 15 November and runs until Tuesday 24 December. 

Other activities at Folkestone Harbour include competitive socialising activities in the form of Shuffleboard and Modern Darts at The Board Room and Adventure Golf Course.
