Enjoy great events in Burton at the Pirelli Stadium
Located just north of Burton-upon-Trent town centre, the Pirelli Stadium is the home of the local football side Burton Albion. Originally built in 2005, the ground was built on the site of a sports club managed by tyre manufacturer Pirelli, which donated the land to the club in exchange for naming rights on the stadium. When not hosting football, the ground specialises in conferencing and banqueting services and hosts everything from corporate events to Christmas parties.
