What: This is the Mecca of beer festivals. Around six million people visit the Oktoberfest every year. You'll want to find a tent that suits your style and the Hofbrau tent is usually a favourite for Englishmen, Australians and Americans. As if beer served by the litre wasn't enough, there's also a carnival and fairground rides to keep you entertained. The main highlight is the Costume and Riflemen's Parade which happens every year on the first Sunday. Where: Munich, Germany. When: It may be called Oktoberfest but those thirsty Germans thought it would be better to start it in September instead and it usually runs through to October. Visit the website for dates.

What: The largest beer festival of the Nordic countries takes place every year in Tallinn, Estonia. For 5 days, large beer tents serve over 100 brands of beer from all over the world. There are a number of zones where you can listen to Estonian bands, experience extreme sports, break dancers and DJs. About 80,000 people visit the festival each year. Where: Tallinn, Estonia When: Beginning of July every year

TourFest is a new concept that combines some familiar ingredients (tour, sport, social, Spain) with some not so familiar ones (all-inclusive accommodation, a wide range of sports, Europe-wide participation, exclusive nightclubs and free bars) to create an extravaganza of on-pitch endeavour and off-pitch hedonism that promises to be the wildest weekend of your life.

What: Festival combining music and wakeboarding. With wakeboarders from across the world and top artists. Where: North Wales When: July
