Welcome to this week's InBurton Insider.

There’s plenty brewing around town, from the Tap into Tutbury Beer & Cider Festival to BBQs at the Burton Bridge Inn and the Cream of Manchester Beer Fest at The Devonshire Arms. Fancy something a bit different? Chris Moyles’ 90s Racenight is bringing the tunes to Uttoxeter, while Elvis & Michael Jackson are making a comeback (of sorts) at Marston’s Spots & Social Club.

For a cultural twist, there’s Seasons of Love at The Brewhouse, the Moira Canal Festival returns, and aspiring actors can audition with the Mellow Dramatics on Sunday.

Whatever your style - music, theatre, beer or bikes - it’s all happening right here. Let’s dive in!
