The popular Cuprinol brand gets a lift this summer from a campaign to support beer gardens at British pubs

Research from Cuprinol reveals that 80 per cent of Brits visit beer gardens each summer on average five times (7 times in London) per summer.

Two thirds of those questioned agreed that spending time in a beer garden makes them happy and more than half believe it's the perfect way to spend an afternoon with friends and family – but two thirds think landlords fail to make the most of their outdoor space and a third would spend more time in their beer garden if it was more welcoming.

To launch 'Cheers it up', Cuprinol has announced a nationwide search for an unloved British beer garden in need of cheering up. The winning pub will be rewarded with a complete makeover, courtesy of Cuprinol. As inspiration Cuprinol has completely revamped the beer garden at The Avalon pub in Clapham, London, where a team of 12  took four days to complete the job, using more than 120 litres of Cuprinol Garden Shades and 140 litres Cuprinol decking stain.

To enter your local beer garden, upload a 30 second video or an image to www.facebook.com/Cuprinol explaining why your local needs cheering up, or tweet an image or 30 second video using the #cheersitup by 1 July 2014.
