Oktoberfest this weekend


The Manchester Food and Drink Festival's fortnight is almost up but it goes out with a bang and a bier keiler from Friday 5th to Sunday 7th October. It's a tribute to the world famous Munich Oktoberfest, although a cider festival, wines and cocktails have also seen centre stage these past couple of weeks.

I wonder what German-Mancunian Friedrich Engels would make of this in the city he was first sent to 170 years ago, to work at Victoria Mill in Weaste? Or German-Mancunian Charles Hallé who arrived in Manchester six years later?

  1. I love how you edited this - I do enjoy the Oktoberfest-ish festivals we get here sometimes - (cider and autumn go hand in hand:). What would Engels be thinking indeed...
