Uttoxeter Attractions

The Uttoxeter May Festival takes place in the town's historic market place on each bank holiday Monday in May. The Flourish Festival in June features visual arts, drama, dance, music and food.

One of Uttoxeter's main attractions is a bas-relief depicting a scene in which Dr Johnson stood bareheaded in the rain in the market square to atone for his refusal to attend his father's bookstall in his youth.
