Powys town transformed for German-style Oktoberfest event

These pictures may look more like they were taken in Munich at the height of Oktoberfest – but they are actually were actually taken in Llanwrtyd Wells.

Designed in partnership with the director of the Bavarian National Museum, Florian Seidel, residents of the UK's smallest town were treated to oompah bands, processions and beer tents in a Teutonic takeover.

The authentic taste of Germany was delivered through pretzels, bratwurst and ‘kellners’ serving steins to celebratory residents.

A spokesperson for PerfectDraft, which created the mini-festival and gifted residents their own draught beer machines, said: “Outside of Germany we know the UK are the number one Oktoberfest fans.

“With it being cancelled for the second time in a row, this year we wanted to go beyond bringing great Oktoberfest draught beer to people’s homes, and really encourage Brits to turn their living rooms and kitchens into their own beer tents.”

Florian Seidel, director of Bavarian National Museum, added: “I’m so happy we’ve been able to bring our iconic Oktoberfest to fans in the UK.
