Officers are investigating reports that a number of women were assaulted at the Bearded Theory festival in Swadlincote last week.

Derbyshire Police were called by security staff to the event at Catton Hall on Friday, May 27.

It is believed the incidents happened in the cider bar, and also at the queue for the ladies toilets, sometime between 7.30pm and 8.30pm.

Anyone who can aid the investigation is encouraged to contact the police.

Those who were believed to have been affected have not come forward to speak to officers.
