This celebration of one of the world’s most important brewing towns runs from Thursday till Sunday.
What better time to fill the town with local live music than during an (or, rather, the) ale trail? With every new pint, the music gets better!
Here’s a list of all the gigs taking place at Burton Ale Trail venues this weekend. That is, all the ones we could find – so please do give us a nudge if anything is missing!
