Review of Oktoberfest at Walton Hall & Gardens - SATURDAY 5th OCTOBER

The venue was amazing and the staff were all really great.  The extra support 'acts' featured, such as the Oktoberfest girls on stilts and the waitresses selling shots in the fantastic Oktoberfest outfits looked stunning.  
Also, the DJ was great.  He got everyone going with great tunes.

However, I would like to point out a couple of things that were absent from the evening which would have been a great improvement.  (We have been to many Oktoberfest events which usually have  these).

- An Oktoberfest pretzel already on the table for each guest (Something to nibble on whilst drinking the first drink(s).  Other events we have been to had this but these had to be purchased at this event's organised food retailers
- A compere for the evening.   Either a member of the band or someone else.  Whilst the band were very good, the lack of a compere meant that the vibe suddenly changed from the DJ set to the Oktoberfest band.  Other events we have been to have had the compere introduce the band, chat to the audience before introducing each song and have been more involved with getting the audience singing (and swaying) to the drinking song.
- Audience participation.  Again, related to the above.  Other events we have attended had audience participation organised by the compare.  Chats with the audience, volunteers for some games etc.  Really gets a good laugh.

Another thing was that there was a small issue with the glass / token setup.  A group of us attended and when we went to get our first drink, some of us received tokens when paying the deposit but 3 of us didn't.  It was a bit awkward at the end of the night as a couple of members of staff weren't going to refund for the glass even though we genuinely didn't have a token.  Eventually, a supervisor approved but maybe there is a better way of organising the glass as it was a busy night and the bar staff may have forgotten to give tokens to other guests.

Other than that, it was a very enjoyable night although it could be much better next time.

Best regards,
Paul

Great night not quite the German atmosphere but good all the same . Not enough catering on site  40 minute wait for a sausage could have been better

Brilliant day, great value for money, highly recommended

great atmosphere,  band playing modern songs with there own twist..

First time at an Oktoberfest and I absolutely loved it. The venue, the atmosphere and the sausages were fantastic. Loved every minute.x. Thank you Walton Hall Gardens! x
