Lifestyle

Burton is internationally known as the capital of British brewing. Coors Visitor Centre (formerly the Bass Museum) offers you a taste, literally of brewing through the ages.

Shopping in Burton is centred around the pedestrianised town centre. Many top high street names intermingle with specialist shops and welcoming bars and cafes. The traditional colourful, open-air market and indoor market hall complete the shopping experience and guarantee something for everyone.

If you want to up the pace, nearby Uttoxeter is nationally known for the National Hunt Steeplechase Course and its twice weekly open-air market brings a welcome hustle & bustle to the town’s streets.

The Trent and Mersey Canal travels the length of the borough; Shobnall and Barton Marinas provides mooring facilities. Chocolate box villages delight the visitor with panoramic views and historical connections, several of the villages retain traditions from medieval times including the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance. Nearby Tutbury is a historic village with a ruined castle in which Mary Queen of Scots spent many years in captivity.

Forming part of the National Forest, one of the country’s most ambitious environmental endeavours East Staffordshire offers a location with enviable lifestyle opportunities.
