Image via Wikipedia Lovely weather we’re having again! I’m still waiting for the Indian Summer that some were promising but I think it’s perhaps still in India at the moment! It’s a busy week for what’s on events this week so let’s get cracking with…

* what’s on in Burton This Week *

Tonight (Thursday) there’s a choice of live music with Jim Ryder and Adam James appearing at The Northern Renegades Country Music Club and Bill Bailey’s All Star Celebrity Band appearing at Burton Jazz Club.

Tomorrow night in stretton there’s a Talk by Master Thatcher at Burton Floral Art Society. Please note that anyone who is expecting this to be a talk on map reading from our ex-female-Prime-Minister’s son may be disappointed!

On Saturday there’s a 6 mile walk in Anslow (I didn’t realise Anslow was that big), a Motability talk and display at The Meadowside, a Best of The Eagles concert at Conkers and a Paranormal Event in tutbury. This includes ghost walks, investigations, stalls and fancy dress and is in aid of local charities.

On both Saturday and Sunday this week there is a Beer Festival at The Old Talbot in Hilton as well as a Fireboat Funday at Branston Water Park which includes vintage model boats from the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. This weekend is also your last chance to visit The Maize Maze in Tatenhill for this year.

On Sunday there is a plant fair in stapenhill, The Big British Mini Day at Catton Hall and a Mediaeval Rock Concert at tutbury Castle. This is apparently a ‘rock concert with a difference’ and could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for to reacquaint yourself with ‘maiden fronted heavy drone folk’!

On Monday there’s the annual Abbots Bromley Horn Dance which is a 13th century custom where men parade and dance with their horns around the village.

And finally, all of next week (Tuesday to Saturday), The Mellow Dramatics are performing the hit musical ‘Hello Dolly’ at The Brewhouse Arts Centre.

cineworld cinema highlights this week include ‘Step Brothers’, ‘Get Smart’, ‘Hellboy 2”Babylon A.D.’, ‘Mamma Mia’, and ‘Step Brothers’.

As usual, details of all the above can be found on the InBurton what’s on page HERE.

That’s yer lot for today, have a great weekend!

Best regards,
Chris
