Young Reporter Oktoberfest Sam Prestianni Parmiter’s School
Britain’s favourite beer festival was alive and well for the first time in 2 years last week in Redbourn. 2500 merry attendees celebrated October in German style on the 27th and 28th- indulging in bratwurst, pretzels, and the occasional pint! Hosted by Barbican Events, guests could also try their steady hands at axe throwing, and traditional games. The traditionally two-week long festival has its origins in Germany, 1810, when King Louis I wed Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. At the time, there was a large feast and daily horse races. Nowadays, the feasts remain but those horses might not be coming back any time soon!
