Welcome to this week's InBurton Insider. 

What a rollercoaster week it’s been in Burton! The roads have been busier than the beer tent at a summer festival, with roadworks and potholes giving drivers a run for their patience. But let’s focus on the good news—Burton Albion’s brilliant win against Wigan! Those three points have lifted them off the bottom of the league and given fans a much-needed reason to smile.

As we look forward to the weekend, there’s plenty to keep us entertained—from Elvis himself (well, almost) gracing Burton Town Hall on Friday to a packed Saturday featuring everything from Burton Albion facing Rotherham at the Pirelli Stadium to A Good Neet Aht at The Brewhouse! 

With so much going on, here’s your ultimate guide to what’s happening in and around town this week. Dive in and enjoy!
