The Best Oktoberfest Events to Attend This Year

Oktoberfest may just be one of the best inventions of all time and we have Germany to thank for it. For a couple of weekends in October, it's actually socially acceptable to get quite drunk and maybe fall over a bit. You can even get really into the tradition and wear some lederhosen, maybe even join an Oompah tribute band.

There are so many brilliant Oktoberfest events happening across the UK this year, so we thought we'd highlight a few of the best ones to see if you might be interested. Who can honestly resist drinking out of a stein? Bag yourself a pretzel and go have a bit of a dance.
