The Brewhouse Arts Centre is set for an exciting Spring–Summer season, packed with live music, laugh-out-loud comedy, inspiring theatre, dance showcases and family favourites from January through to July. With a programme that blends professional touring shows, community talent and inclusive events, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Live Music Highlights

Music lovers are truly spoilt for choice this season. From folk and blues to jazz, rock and nostalgia-filled tributes, the line-up includes The George Harrison Project, Martyn Joseph, Sam Sweeney Trio, Honey & The Bear, and The Classic Blues Show. Jazz fans can enjoy Much Ado About Jazz, while those in search of feel-good anthems can sing along with Legends of Motown, Neil Sands – At the Hop, The Eddie Cochran Show, The Counterfeit 70’s Show, and Roger Parkes – Piano Man. The season also celebrates local music-making with special shows to celebrate Burton Folk Club’s 60th Anniversary.

Comedy That Delivers the Laughs

Comedy takes centre stage with a strong mix of stand-up, character comedy and variety nights. This season welcomes some of the UK’s most popular comedians, including Angela Barnes, Ed Byrne, Andy Parsons, Alfie Moore, Justin Moorhouse, and Belgium science comedian Lieven Scheire. Our much-loved Brew-ha-ha House Comedy Nights return, offering evenings packed with top circuit acts, while nostalgic favourites like Just Like That! The Tommy Cooper Show bring classic comedy to life.

Theatre, Dance & Community Performance

The Brewhouse continues to showcase outstanding theatre and dance from both professional companies and local groups. Audiences can enjoy major productions including Cabaret Theatre Company’s My Fair Lady, Little Theatre Company’s Come From Away and The Vicar of Dibley.

Dance features strongly throughout the season, with performances from Viki Barker – Inspiration School of Dance, Stephanie Parrott Dance, CCC Dance and Fitness, Spotlight Dance, and Midland Youth Ballet, celebrating performers of all ages and abilities. Our programme also includes Inclusive Club Nights, ensuring everyone can enjoy a welcoming night out at the Brewhouse.

Family Fun for All Ages

Families are well catered for with a packed programme of feel-good entertainment. Highlights include BASE Panto – Goldilocks and the Three Bears, youth theatre productions such as Alice in Wonderland Jr, Beauty and the Beast Jr, and The Wizard of Oz, plus high-energy entertainment with LDN Wrestling – Live and Unleashed, alongside magical and imaginative performances such as The Curious Case of the Masqued Magician bringing comedy, magic and mystery to the stage.

With so much happening on stage and beyond, The Brewhouse Spring–Summer season promises memorable experiences for audiences of all ages.

Cinema, Workshops & Gallery

The Brewhouse offers plenty to enjoy beyond the main stage. Our cinema programme, presented as part of Spotlight on Staffordshire in partnership with Sonic Boom Music CIC, features a season of music-led films including Dreaming of You: The Making of The Coral, Searching for Sugarman, Sunshine on Leith and more. Screenings take place at 7pm, with tickets priced at £5.

We also run a wide range of weekly creative workshops for all ages and abilities. These include Adult Art Classes, Art Club (ages 7–11), a welcoming Women’s Art Group, and inclusive sessions such as Art Café and iDance for adults with additional needs and their carers. Families can enjoy Upbeat, our music and movement sessions for pre-schoolers, while ReBalance offers seated, dance-based movement for older people.

Our gallery spaces showcase local stories and talent throughout the season, with exhibitions from HMP Dovegate, a celebration of 60 years of Burton Folk Club, and work from the Burton Collaborative Arts Festival.
