POLICE are appealing for information after a woman reported that she was raped at Frocester Beer Festival at the weekend.

The incident happened in a tent in the cricket club grounds between 9pm and 11.30pm on Friday, August 26.

The victim, in her 30s, was attending the event with a friend and was socialising when she met a man who indicated he was with a large group of similarly aged men.

The victim danced with the man before realising she had become separated from her friend. She walked back to her tent to look for her but was followed by the man.

He is then alleged to have raped her in her tent.

The man is described as being in his late 20s or early 30s, of medium build, around 6ft tall, with short dark hair, clean shaven and with a slim face.

He was wearing a short-sleeved burnt orange polo shirt, dark blue shorts and white sport socks with black markings. It is believed the man may be from Bristol.

Forensic and other inquiries are ongoing but police are asking anyone who attended the festival who may have information or knows who the man is to call them on 101, citing incident 380 of August 27.
