Does the UK have anything similar?
After my new fave style of dresses (in pic) have inspired us to look into this kind of festival but Germany is a bit out of our range & we'd really like to get into it, costumes & all. |

You may well find a few pubs or clubs do OctoberFest theme nights here.
Honeslty though, you can get to Munich and do the real thing for cheaper than you think. I have been a number of times now. If you enjoy the dressing up and atmosphere it is a lot of fun. |

"There's often Oktoberfest events around the UK in September.
I'm puzzled why they are in September not October "
Since Brexit the UK is not allowed to hold them in October.  |

Oh yes of course. And we can only serve ale in pints and yards, not litres "
And you try buying a French letter these days Sally !  |

"Manchester has one. I loved the idea and dressing in the traditional dirndl.
The downside though, it was full of chavs.
Your dirndl was full of chavs ?
I wonder if you can get cream for that?  "
There was one point in the evening it was!  |

I went to one in Newport, South Wales a few years ago. Was in a giant tent, steins of beer was overly expensive, the music was shit as the speakers kept cutting out, the porta-loos were gross, and as per usual when there's alcohol involved the inevitable fighting took place. Tickets were around £20 each. I'm pretty sure they travel around the country. |

It's an old tradition where they bring down the cows off the alps for winter and the beer fest is the celebration for it  |
