Thursday 20th February 2025

Welcome to this week's InBurton Insider. 

Evenings are finally getting lighter - sunset is now at 5:27 pm, which means we’re edging ever closer to the time of year when you can get home from work and it’s not pitch black outside. Even better, in just over five weeks, the clocks go forward, giving us longer days and a solid excuse to start daydreaming about beer gardens and lazy Sunday afternoons in the sun. Hang in there, Burton - spring is on its way!

Now, onto the weekend! If you haven't yet seen Jack & The Beanstalk at The Brewhouse or Made in Dagenham at De Ferrers, you’re running out of chances—both wrap up after their final shows on Saturday.

Meanwhile, vintage wheels are rolling in for the Burton Scooter Fair, and history is huffing and puffing away at Claymills Victorian Pumping Station’s Steaming Weekend. There’s also a packed line-up of live music, from Sphanky at The Leopard to Tick Tick Boom at Banter Burton - just in case your ears need a proper weekend workout.

Oh, and a little reminder—there are only 8 days left to enter the free prize draw for a meal at The Claypot. If you like food (which, let’s be honest, we all do), get yourself in the running!

Enjoy the weekend, it’s looking like a good one!

According to the doctor he's got soft tissue damage.
