Organisers have announced the postponement of Oktoberfest in Dockyard until at least the end of the year.

Philip Barnett, president of Island Restaurant Group, said the move was forced by heightened restrictions imposed because of the Covid-19 crisis.

Mr Barnett added that the large group exemption for the event, scheduled for October 7 to 9, had been withdrawn.

He said work was under way to reschedule for two months’ time.

Mr Barnett added that details on progress would be announced in the next couple of weeks.

He said tickets and tables already paid for would be moved forward with the same seating and tables as booked.

Mr Barnett said that booking could be cancelled through the Ptix help desk, which can be e-mailed at info@ptix.bm.

Customers can also call 278-1500 or the toll free number 855-424-1500.
