A woman was sexually assaulted by two men at a concert in Nottinghamshire.

The 25-year-old was attacked after becoming separated from friends at the Queen Spectacular concert in Clumber Park on Saturday.

She was grabbed by the two men at the Lab Crossroads off Lime Trees Avenue, as she returned to the main car park after the event's firework display.

They pulled her into a wooded area and assaulted her. Police said she was left "shocked and extremely distressed".

The attack happened between 2300 BST and midnight at the park, which is located near Worksop in north Nottinghamshire.

Both suspects are described as "white men aged in their mid-teens to early 20s". One is of slim to medium build, and was wearing a blue tracksuit and baseball cap.

The other is described as being of medium to heavy build with fair hair, and was wearing white tracksuit bottoms with a black stripe.

A police spokesman said: "This was a traumatic experience for the victim, to be attacked by two strangers having lost her friends.

"She is still very, very distressed. It was a horrific assault."

Ian Deans, property manager at Clumber Park, said: "The National Trust is extremely concerned to hear of this assault and is co-operating fully with Nottinghamshire Police.

"Our thoughts are with the woman involved."
