Abbots Bromley — Home of the Horn Dance

Abbots Bromley is best known for the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance, performed through the village and surrounding farmland every September and widely regarded as one of the oldest surviving folk customs in Britain. The reindeer antlers carried by the dancers have been carbon-dated to roughly the 11th century, which is remarkable given reindeer had long since disappeared from Britain by then.

The village centre keeps its Butter Cross, the timber-framed market structure that marks the old trading point, and the wider parish runs out toward Blithfield Reservoir to the west. It is a genuinely rural setting, and that shapes the locksmith work here — farm vehicles, long distances to the nearest dealer, and households where a single working key is more common than it should be.

Every AutoVault service is available in Abbots Bromley — car key replacement, lost car keys, emergency vehicle unlocking, and full commercial vehicle coverage.

Local Knowledge

Covering Abbots Bromley and the Surrounding Parishes

The village sits between Uttoxeter, Rugeley and Burton, which means it is a genuine distance from any main dealer in every direction. For an all-keys-lost job that matters — recovering a vehicle from here to a dealership is an expensive exercise before any key work even starts.

Blithfield Reservoir draws visitors and anglers year-round, and the Horn Dance in September brings substantial numbers into a village with limited parking. Both create the kind of callout where somebody is a long way from home with no spare key.

Village Centre

Around the Butter Cross and High Street — on-street lockouts and lost keys covered as standard.

Blithfield Reservoir

Angling and visitor parking to the west of the village, covered as part of standard coverage.

AutoVault came to produce a spare key for my vehicle and programme a lost one out of the system. The service was exceptional and communication was excellent throughout. I was called before arrival (on time) and he did a stellar job. My vehicle posed several issues with the programming process and he went above and beyond to resolve this for me, perservering and having to come back the next day after some additional time and work was needed to complete the job which he did successfully. Extremely knowledgeable and professional, and a top guy! I cannot recommend this company highly enough. I will definitely use again in future.

Fast and professional service. I rang Ben to replace my lost car key, he rang back within the hour with a price. The following morning he arrived bang on time and supplied a genuine Range Rover key. Excellent communication and a hassle free service at a great price.

We were locked out our car at Alton Towers and had no other option but to Google for car locksmith. We tried the first one that came up and so glad we did! They came to us within 20 minutes, got us in the car quickly with no damage at all done to the car. Would 100% recommend if you are in the area. We are from Scotland so wasn't sure who to use but glad we used these guys.

I have a courtesy car and the key fob stopped working. The garage were shut for the whole weekend and I needed the use of a car. Ben was amazing and went over and beyond. He was very patient with me trying to identify where the emergency override was. . He then offered to come out and he arrived within 15 minutes. Bizarrely the key fob started to work as he pulled up. He still checked the fobs battery for me and showed me where the override on the car was. He refused to charge me the agreed call out charge. In fact he refused to charge me at all. If I could have given him 10 stars I would .Very knowledgeable and a gentleman. If you ever get locked out of your car definitely give Ben a call

Outstanding, quality service at a reasonable price. Ben went above and beyond to ensure I was back on the road which I really appreciate. I think he had to utilise all his knowledge and expertise whilst having to improvise on my challenging mercedes immobilser failure. He has a real talent and professionalism. Thank you
