The Lichfield Festival

Lichfield Festival is an annual multi-art-form Festival held in Lichfield, Staffordshire, England each July. Performances include drama, dance, film, literature, visual arts, jazz, folk, classical and world music. Performances take place principally in the medieval Lichfield Cathedral and The Hub at St Mary's, alongside other churches and performing arts venues across the City. The Festival now also runs an annual Literature Festival each March, a Chamber Music Festival each October, and at least one Christmas concert per year. A year-round Learning and Participation programme includes audience development schemes, providing free music tuition in local schools, and supporting the next generation of young creatives and performers.
