Oktoberfest in Finsbury Park

CityOfSin

Surprised I haven't seen any moaning about this yet...

"The organisers behind the Canary Wharf Oktoberfest are putting on a spectacular event at north London's Finsbury Park, welcoming over 3,000 guests."

All the beer, bratwurst and oompah bands you could dream of.

18-31st October, though it's only open Thu-Sun, and for Halloween.

Watch out for drunk lads in lederhosen!

How refreshing! Like a rock concert but with less noise and a lot more drunken pissing everywhere. I wonder who are the bigger mugs; those who pay extra to have access to the “VIP priority” toilets, or those who pay the standard rate, knowing that their toilet needs are anything but a priority for the organisers. Well there they’ll go; disseminating disease and discontent, doing drugs, dumping detritus, disturbing the ducks…

(Will that do, CityOfSin?)

The idea is to get everyone too drunk to fight and break things, but not die.
The sweet spot of drinking.

Wonder how much a pint will be.. These things always end up badly, probably cheaper to fly to Munich for a non-Octoberfest weekend in a Brauhaus

I had to get a second mortgage when I came back from Munich so at least it will be authentic on the price point.

I doubt very much they will be selling beer by the pint!

Fighting outside the VIP toilet, class.

That guy who took the swing at 0:30 was lucky the security guard didn't retaliate.

Looks like they didn't heed my post above, from September.

At least the music will be better than Wireless
