Time Capsule 2025

What were you doing in the year 2000?

The International Space Station was set up, ‘Miss Congeniality’ was a big box office winner, ‘Big Brother’ premiered on ITV, Windows 2000 was released and we survived the millennium bug, although the Millennium Bridge wobbled a lot!. 

Meanwhile, in Burton 2000 AD – a time capsule was buried! 

On 28 September 2025, at midday on the cricket field, they will be unearthing the contents of the 2000 time capsule and burying a new one to be opened in 2050.

There will be a BBQ and refreshments available for purchase, the bar will be open and music will be provided by Simple Folk. They will also be re-taking the photograph for 2025.

No entrance fee – just go along, take part, and be recorded for the next quarter century!
