A WOMAN who assaulted two men in a supermarket car park will appear at Exeter Magistrate's Court on Monday to ask for her electronic tag to be removed so she can go to the V Festival.
The event - in Essex and Staffordshire - will be held next weekend, is known for its party atmosphere and will see Justin Timberlake and The Killers performing.
But Bridie Beverton, from Tiverton, won't be going unless magistrates agree to lift her curfew order. She was made the subject of the curfew after admitting assaulting two men outside Tesco in her home town.
Ms Beverton, who faced Exeter Magistrates last month, was accused of beating Daniel Rumble and Damien Cowell outside the Tesco in Blundell's Road, Tiverton.
The beautician pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a community order placing her on curfew for two months. She was ordered to pay £100 in compensation to the victims.
The curfew means Beverton must stay at her home in Queensway between the hours of 9pm and 6am.
The 37-year-old mum of two said she could not afford not to go to the festival, which charges £90 a day for entry.
"The ticket to V Festival cost me a lot of money and it was booked ages before anything happened. We'll have to see what happens." she said.
Beverton has appealed to magistrates to lift the curfew on Saturday, August 16, and Sunday, August 17.
Her appeal goes before the court on Monday.
