Events in Burton Upon Trent From 6th April – 12th April 2026

Home · Events in Burton upon Trent This Week

You can find events across Burton upon Trent this week covering music, comedy, family activities, and creative workshops at venues including The Flowerpot in Derby, where tribute acts perform evenings from Tuesday to Saturday. Stand-up comedy is hosted weekly at the Admiral Rodney near Coopers Square, offering a relaxed setting for adult audiences interested in contemporary or observational humour. Family-friendly options include an outdoor cinema screening of Peter Rabbit in Electric Daisy garden with food available on summer evenings. Children can attend free Easter workshops at Pets at Home Burton-upon-Trent, featuring pet-themed activities and animal art projects. There are also pottery classes at The Mug Tug Ashore - Pottery Painting Studio in the community hall on Fridays at 6pm for all skill levels. These events reflect a consistent thread through local life: accessible cultural programming rooted in place rather than spectacle.

The town's rhythm of social activity is shaped by geography, events cluster around High Street during peak times, contributing to traffic delays noted for pedestrian-heavy days near the weekly market or annual fair week. Parking at Coopers Square remains limited; those arriving via public transport may find it more straightforward using Burton-on-Trent railway station connections with Midland Railways services.
