Hundreds of revellers have flocked to OPEN's Banking Hall this evening (Thursday, October 5) for a taste of German beer and bratwurst at one event, which is raising money for the Open Youth Trust.

OPEN's Oktoberfest - which has been endorsed by Stephen Fry - continues through Friday and Saturday.

Meanwhile, a 'Grand Bier Tent' has sprung up outside Carrow Road for another Oktoberfest party taking place on Friday and Saturday.
