Thursday 3rd April 2025

Welcome to this week's InBurton Insider.

Is it just us, or does everything feel a bit brighter lately? Maybe it’s the clocks springing forward, maybe it’s the sunshine finally showing up for work - either way, it’s blooming lovely to have those lighter evenings back. Perfect for squeezing in a walk by the Washlands or, let’s be honest, an extra pint in the beer garden.

And speaking of getting out and about, this weekend is bursting at the seams with things to do. Fancy some smooth Motown or some live music? You’re spoilt for choice. Got a taste for circus thrills? James Richards Circus is pitching up in Alrewas all weekend. Want to lie on the floor of the Town Hall and bathe in sound? We don’t judge - Equinox has you covered.

From ska to soul, from spring cleans to sound baths, Burton is buzzing. So shake off those winter cobwebs and dive in—because there’s no better time to be out and about in our home town.

Enjoy the weekend!
