This Week's InBurton Insider
What's On in Burton this week – and a wild mix of weather, wagging tails, and winning nights!

Welcome to this week's InBurton Insider.

If Burton’s weather was a person, it’d be that friend who can’t decide whether to wear shorts or a winter coat. This past week has thrown everything at us—hail, near-freezing temperatures, and then, just when we thought we were in for an extra long winter, a burst of unexpected sunshine. Who knows what’s next? A heatwave? A blizzard? Best be prepared for both.

One thing that is consistent, however, is Burton’s buzzing weekend lineup. Whether you fancy a trip to the theatre for 42nd Street at The Brewhouse, a night of Fleetwood Mac nostalgia with a Stevie Nicks tribute at The Monk’s Bridge, or something a little more high-energy like the return of Pump at The Complex, there’s plenty going on.

If you prefer a bit of glamour, the Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter Racecourse is sure to bring the excitement, or you can sing your heart out at one of the many karaoke nights around town. And for all the Elton John fans out there, the "Nearly Elton" tribute at Burton Town Hall promises to be a real showstopper.

Meanwhile, for our dog-loving readers, we’ve got some pawsome news! We’ve launched a brand-new Dog Friendly section on the InBurton website, listing over 30 pubs, cafés, and venues where you and your four-legged friend will be welcome. So if you love a good pint and hate leaving your pup at home, we’ve got you covered.

Whatever you’re up to this weekend, stay warm (or cool, depending on what the weather decides to do), and enjoy everything Burton has to offer!

With over 30 years of experience and a 5-star reputation, they are Gas Safe Registered and serve Burton and surrounding areas.

Are You a Dog Owner?

If you’re a dog owner like me, you’ll know there’s nothing better than taking your four-legged friend along for the ride - especially when there’s food and drink involved. That’s why I’ve put together a brand-new Dog Friendly section on the InBurton website, making it easier than ever to find places in town where both you and your pup will get a warm welcome.

So far, I’ve sniffed out 31 pubs, cafés, and other venues that are happy to host hounds, and I’ll be adding more as I discover them.

Want to check it out? Just Click Here to see the list.

And if you run a dog-friendly business, you can add it for free - just follow the link at the top of the page. It’s easier than teaching a Labrador to sit!
