Burton Brewing Museum to Re-open
News: November 2009
Britain is to have its own National Brewery Centre. Doors will open in spring 2010.
The new enterprise takes over the former Bass Museum/Coors Visitor Centre site on Horninglow Road in Burton-on-Trent. The centre closed in 2008 when Coors withdrew its support, but now the multi-national brewery is backing the new venture.
Molson Coors UK is to donate £200,000 in matched funding to help re-open the site and will then commit £100,000 a year to the maintenance of the buildings that it is leasing to the new business at a peppercorn rent.
The National Brewery Centre will be operated by Planning Solutions Ltd, a company that specializes in tourism and leisure services and already runs the Conkers adventure and discovery centre in Derbyshire.
The company plans to make the centre more interactive that before, with live actors replacing dummies among the displays. Bars and restaurants will also form part of the complex.
