🇩🇪🍻 PROST! A FANTASTIC OKTOBERFEST CELEBRATION! 🥨🍷

What a wonderful evening of Bavarian fun, fabulous food, games and a little German w**e and b**r tasting! 🇩🇪

Our members enjoyed a fantastic Oktoberfest celebration in Penwortham this week, with plenty of laughter, delicious flavours and great company!

🍷🍺 A Taste of Germany!

We were delighted to welcome Colin, our resident drinks expert, who guided us through a tasting of three German w**es and three German b**rs. Sharing his extensive knowledge of their origins, history and distinctive flavours, Colin made the experience both fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable!

🥨🌭 A Bavarian Feast!

Our drinks were accompanied by delicious platters of traditional German-inspired food, including bratwurst, bockwurst, pretzels, German cheeses, sauerkraut, gherkins and plenty of other tasty treats!

🍰 Something Sweet!

We were also treated to some wonderful homemade Black Forest gâteau cupcakes, lovingly prepared by one of our talented members, alongside apple strudel, stollen and other sweet delights!

🏆 A Little Friendly Competition!

The evening wouldn’t have been complete without some fun and games! Our German-themed quiz certainly got everyone thinking, with one team narrowly edging ahead to claim the winning prize!

👏 A huge thank you to Colin for sharing his expertise, to everyone who contributed to our wonderful feast, and of course to all our members who made the evening such a success!

❤️ And the best part? This entire evening cost our members just £3 each! 🥨🍷

At Oddfellows, we believe that enjoying a great social life shouldn’t cost a fortune. We’re proud to offer affordable activities that bring people together, create friendships and give everyone something to look forward to.

Good food, great company and a wonderful evening out – all for just £3!
