King's Barn opens officially!

There was great excitement tonight in the King's Arms, with the official opening of the King's Barn accommodation. Extra en-suite bedrooms have been created within the revamped former storage barn, with one having full disabled access and a wet-room, along with an en-suite linked room adjoining suitable for a carer or family.

The rooms can serve as twin beds or wide doubles, with ample hanging space for clothes,a hospitality tray, and en suite facilities including showers and baths.

Cosily warm and tastefully decorated, the rooms are just across the courtyard from the main building and have easy access from the adjacent car park.

Live Music at the King's this Friday

This Friday, 6th February,  sees the welcome return to the King's Arms, Burton, of the awesome Mickey Jupp and Mo Witham. From around 9pm the duo will be performing a range of songs, many of which were written by Mickey himself, along with some other old favourite tunes.  Come along and enjoy some good live music in our friendly local!

Oh what a night!

I make no apologies for stealing a song title to describe last night's gig at the Kings Arms in Burton, as it was such a fab night of music and songs.

Southend's finest (who are both now Cumbrian residents), Mickey Jupp and Mo Witham played for almost 3 hours in the bar, getting through a 3-part set list of some 25 songs, many of which were written by Mickey himself.

People came from near and far to listen, there were even fans from London, the Midlands and Ireland! Mickey and Mo clearly enjoyed the intimate atmosphere of the bar, as well as the excellent beer, and the audience obviously enjoyed their performance!

For anyone who missed the night, never fear, as Mickey and Mo will be back - they are taking part in an event later this year in the Memorial Hall - more details will be available soon.

Christmas Lights at the Kings Arms Burton

A little bird tells us that the Kings Arms Christmas decorations and lights are going to be spectacular this year. It may cause a spike in the National Grid's power drain when they switch on, but surely they will cheer everyone up and bring a smile to even the more dour of faces these cold December days and nights?

We will send our undercover photographer to get some pictures (we may have to dress him as an elf to blend in, but what the heck!) - but if you can't wait, why not pop along and see for yourself?
