The popular beer festival began in Germany in 1812 and is a celebration of the marriage to the crown princess of Bavaria who later became King Louis I, to princess Therese Von Sachesen Hildburghausen.

Despite being traditionally celebrated in Germany each year, it has become popular with cities across the UK celebrating the event.
