Over 10 days Lichfield Festival brings music, theatre and arts to its population, bringing in many tourists and giving the city a taste of the fantastic talent in the area. This year is the 35th annual Lichfield Festival and it takes place between 1st and 10th July in venues across the city, most notably the Lichfield Cathedral and the Garrick Theatre.
The line-up of the 2016 Lichfield Festival has yet to be announced but previous years have brought together performances from local school groups, youth orchestras and professional acts. The musical performances will be supported by theatre, spoken word and visual arts and the festival combines both free events and those which are ticketed.
