Pub-goers in hysterics after woman's attempt to sneak into beer garden goes wrong

A thirsty punter ended up hanging upside down on a pub's railings after trying to sneak into its beer garden to grab an empty bench by clambering over a fence.

Pub-goers were left in hysterics after witnessing the embarrassing mishap as they enjoyed their drinks at The Hope and Anchor in Royton, Greater Manchester.

Stunned onlooker Nicole Meadows was enjoying a drink at her local on Friday evening when she spotted the daring duo attempting to land a vacant bench.

In the hilarious clip, one of the women attempts to step over the fence but appears to get her foot stuck and is trying to disentangle herself from that while her pal decided to dive over herself.

The second woman flings herself over the railing but the waist of her jeans becomes caught on the metalwork, flipping her the wrong way up and leaving her suspended upside down for more than 30 seconds.

As 30-year-old Nicole and other witnesses cackle in the background, the unknown woman is finally helped back over the fence by a stranger who comes to help.

Once freed from her predicament, the woman announces 'I've hurt my vagina' to entertained customers before asking if she can have a seat if she walks around to the proper entrance.

Nicole, from Middleton, Greater Manchester, said: "It was hilarious. I've never seen anything like that before.

"It was highly amusing. Everybody was laughing.

"They'd closed the doors because the pub was full, but there were still a couple of empty benches outside.

"The girls were trying to climb over the fence to sit at one of the benches and get served.

"The doors were closed and there was a sign outside saying they were at full capacity on a blackboard. But it's an open beer garden and you can see [the seating].

"The first girl managed to get over, but the second one didn't.

The care worker had been with her mum Vicky Meadows when the chaotic scene caught the attention of the entire beer garden, who all watched on in amusement.

In her clip, Nicole can be heard laughing hysterically as the two unknown women became stuck in the awkward positions.

Nicole said: "Everyone's going wild because everything's reopened.

"It's got a really big beer garden. Somebody sat at the back of the pub [got up to] try and help her over.

"[After the incident] she just accepted the fact they weren't allowed in and tried going somewhere else.

"I think she wrapped her legs around it to try and save herself from smashing her face open."

Margaret Newton, landlady of The Hope and Anchor, said she asked the two women to come back another time and was glad they didn't come to any harm.

Margaret said: "The door was shut, she tried to get in and she wasn't served. That's the only thing I can say.

"I told her to come back later on when it might have died down, but she didn't do. I haven't seen her since.

"I did ask her to come back. I said 'we are full love. I'm not serving you'.

"I'm just glad she didn't hurt herself.

"It's a light-hearted story. I have no problems.

"They do tend to climb over the fence. If they climb over the fence, the rule is they don't get served.

"I'll just be glad when we can get back to normal. We'll be able to welcome people back in and save all this hassle."
