Abbots Bromley is a compact, historic village and civil parish in East Staffordshire, Staffordshire, England, set in gently rolling farmland on the edge of the old Needwood countryside and close to Blithfield Reservoir. The settlement retains a classic village green, timber‑framed houses and a conservation character, with larger market towns such as Burton upon Trent and Uttoxeter within easy reach.
Its best‑known cultural feature is the annual Horn Dance, an ancient folk performance revived each Wakes Monday in September and famed for the men who carry impressive antlers through the streets; the village also centres on St Nicholas' Church, local pubs and small shops. The surrounding parish economy remains largely rural - farming and small local businesses - with a good dose of heritage tourism drawn by the historic buildings and traditional community events.
