German food and drink will be on offer a new Oktoberfest event being planned for the Norfolk Broads.
Laszlo Zupan, manager at Liberty bar and restaurant next to Wroxham Bridge, said he had always wanted to go the original Oktoberfest in Munich.
He said the planned Beerfest Wroxham on September 23-25 would be a way of attracting more visitors at a normally quiet time of year.
Mr Zupan said: "I have been in hospitality for over 20 years and always wanted to go to the Octoberfest, but never managed. But this is not the main reason for the event.

"Our restaurant is in the middle of Wroxham and it's very seasonal."
Mr Zupan said there would be a hog roast, with a whole pig cooking on a spike outdoors, a raffle, beer specialties, games, German desserts, and live music.
"I have been trying to organize a beef festival for a few years now," he said.
