This event will mark a milestone 10 years of the Bettesteiner Footstompers supporting the charity.

The Kent based Bavarian style band are bringing back the spirit and joy of the Munich Oktoberfest to St Mary’s Arts Centre, Strand Street, Sandwich in aid of Martha Trust from 7.30 pm. Doors open at 7pm

The Bettesteiner Footstompers, as seen on The Alan Titchmarsh Show, are popular all over the South East and in London and guarantee to get the laughter and dancing flowing.

Big Willy, Otto Gell, Gretel, Stefan Schnetker and Wandering Hans will be playing a selection of foot stomping, thigh slapping German tunes to give this live music event the authentic festive feel.
Tickets cost £35 each and include a Peach Schnapps on arrival, all your drink and food – beer, wine and soft drinks, sausages and live music.

To date, there are less than 40 tickets left for this very popular event.

Steve Griffiths (aka Stefan from The Bettesteiner Footstompers) said, “We are absolutely delighted to be performing at the event. We all agree that the work Martha Trust does is of immense value to many people, so it is really exciting for us to be able to make our own contribution.
We try to be as traditional and accurate as possible and have numerous stories of how we have convinced Bavarians and Austrians in the audience that we are actually from Germany.
Our whole act is built around the concept that we want our audiences to leave the show feeling that they have had a really fun evening and, ideally, be hoarse from singing so much!”

Fundraising & Events Manager Kerry Banks BEM says “This really is a great event that has been enjoyed by so many over the past 10 years. Each year is a sell out!
We are so lucky to have the ongoing support of The Bettesteiner Footstompers and St Mary’s Arts Centre along with the support of Siobhan Matthews and Steve Laslett.
Thank you also to our Sponsors so far which include Superior Healthcare Group, Barclays Uk, Agents Giving, KCB Property Rentals ,Korkers Sausages, Beach Street Restaurants, I-Deal Security Group & St Marys Arts Centre along with Sandwich Community Events”
