A delighted Kelly said: “It was such as good competition, but I didn’t think I would win. I can’t wait for the beer festival now, no queue for the loo, luxury loo roll and champagne to drink while I’m in there.”

James Beeching, social media coordinator for the beer festival, said: “This is our first year with Win a VIPee and we had a fabulous response to the competition with over 600 retweets and shares.

“Social media is immensely powerful in spreading the word about the beer festival and we are pushing fun ideas out to our followers and hope that they join in the celebration leading up to what is a tremendous festival weekend.”

The ‘loo facilities’ for everyone are increased this year, with emphasis on keeping the queues as short as possible and the area as clean as possible.
