Festival lovers can enjoy a little bit of luxury at this year's Brownstock Festival as it introduces glamping for the first time.

The VIP glamping at the festival in Stow Maries, which is being held from July 10 -12, will include a separate camping area with its own loos, VIP bar, tipis, yurts, bell tents and the B-Pampered Spa.

Jess Brown, marketing manager for the festival, said: "There is no denying that Essex is famed for its glamour and we wanted to bring a little bit of that to the festival and really offer something extra for our VIP ticket holders.

"We always try to use local businesses wherever we can and we know there is so much expertise in this area in the local vicinity so we can’t wait to hear from people who might like to be involved this July.”

The festival is also currently calling for local businesses and beauty professionals to get involved in the spa (for which they would receive a fee).
