Dust off your lederhosens and celebrate Oktoberfest at Flat Iron Square
Dust off your lederhosens and celebrate Oktoberfest at Flat Iron Square
Updated on 18 September 2018 • Written By Tonje Odegard
Did you know the annual Oktoberfest is a celebration of the marriage between Prince Ludwig of Bavaria and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen, which occurred in Munich 185 years ago? Probably not. To Londoners, Oktoberfest is more an elaborate excuse to drink tonnes of beer, rather than a century-old celebration of the momentous matrimony between two Germans.
No matter the reason, the world has embraced Germany’s favourite autumn festival, and
Flat Iron Square will be putting on a four-day feast for the occasion. Head on down to
London Bridge between 3 and 6 October, where you can immerse yourself in some Bavarian fun. This involves music, food, and most importantly, lots and lots of beer.
There will be German-themed live entertainment, games and food (hello, sauerkraut!) and you’re encouraged to dress the part. So time to fish out that old lederhosen from the cupboard and
Schuhplattler your way down to
Flat Iron Square.
With tickets only £10pp (this includes a beer on arrival), this is a real bavargain (see what we did there?). Evening parties will be put on every night, as well as a day-time session on the Saturday.
