Welcome to this week's InBurton Insider.

Hello and Happy Easter Weekend! 🐣

We’ve got a bumper edition for you this week, packed with over 40 events happening across Burton and beyond over the Easter weekend - plus another 30+ for the week ahead. Whether you're after family fun, a good night out, or just fancy breakfast with a bunny (yes, really), there's something for everyone.

🎡 The fun fair's rolling into Gresley Common
🎶 There’s live music galore — from The Cabanas to Hoodoo Voodoo
👻 A little mystery with an Evening of Mediumship in Horninglow
🍳 Easter Bunny breakfasts in Rolleston and Stretton
🎯 And even an open day with Burton Bridge Archers

And of course - it’s a bank holiday weekend, so we hope you're getting a well-earned break (and maybe a chocolate egg or two!).

⚽ In football news, Burton Albion have climbed out of the relegation zone after a much-needed boost in form recently. With a few more solid performances, safety could soon be well within reach — come on you Brewers!
