You can experience a little bit of Germany in Watford as Oktoberfest is set to come to the town.

For those who don’t know, Oktoberfest is a traditional event which takes place in the country each October.

It is hugely popular and has spread across the world. The events specialise in beer and food.

Visitors to Oktoberfest will find a giant outdoors beer garden where they can enjoy a two-pint beer from a stein.
