🍺 An ancient City tradition meets Oktoberfest!

Now in its fourth year running, Culture Mile’s Oktoberfest once again brought Bavarian b**r, festivities, and a little bit of City of London history together. You might not expect to find one of the City’s oldest civic traditions at a Bavarian b**r festival… but that’s exactly what happened this week.

On Monday, an Ale-Conner joined us at Citypoint for a special ceremonial tasting, sampling the b**r and declaring it “good and wholesome” before inviting the crowd to raise a glass. 👀

Dating back to the medieval City, Ale-Conners were historically responsible for checking the quality and measure of ale being sold. Today, the role is largely ceremonial, but it remains a fascinating link to the City’s trading, brewing and hospitality heritage.

Oktoberfest continues at Citypoint until Thursday 8 October, with live music, bratwurst and currywurst, festival games and free creative workshops. 🌭

📍 Join us at Citypoint Plaza, 1 Ropemaker Street, until Thursday 8 October, from 11:30am to 2pm each day.

Need a lunchtime reset? 🧘‍♀️

We’ll be hosting Lie Down and Listen, a new, free experience to help you relax and recuperate, this Thursday from 12-15pm-1:45pm at Barts North Wing, St Bartholomew’s. Led by pianist and Lie Down and Listen founder Christina McMaster, who brings two decades of classical piano experience, the event will feature...

🔔 A Tibetan bowl sound healing experience
🎹 A live classical piano concert, enjoyed while lying down in the stunning heritage space
🛏️ Mattresses, cushions and blankets provided for your comfort

Inspired by Christina’s grandmother’s story of how her grandfather would turn to the opera to feel uplifted when he was feeling unwell or down, this special event brings that same idea of music as a source of comfort and restoration to St Bartholomew’s. For those tired of eating lunch at their home desk, it’s a rare chance to truly switch off.

📍 Barts North Wing, West Smithfield
