[5] Some of the inhabitants work at the Toyota car factory which is located east of the village.

The part of the village that is closely adjacent to the A50, and the Toyota Car factory, is separately named as Etwall Common.

Etwall has numerous amenities including a post office,[7] library,[8] two village stores,[9] a restaurant,[10] pharmacy,[11] dental practice,[12] veterinarian,[13] village hall,[14] leisure centre[15] and cricket club.

The village has two pubs on its Main Street: the Spread Eagle (opposite John Port School) is the oldest, and the Hawk and Buckle dates from around 1800.

[19] There is also the more modern Seven Wells[20] on Heage Lane and a bar inside Blenheim House.
