Lichfield Festival

This annual 10-day festival takes place in mid-July. Events include jazz and classical concerts, film screenings, plays, recitals, show jumping competitions, exhibitions and discussions.

The repertoire also ranges from classical and traditional to contemporary.

Discussion groups are usually led by a different international composer every year.

The highlight is a spectacular fireworks display that lights up the city.

There are at least four events held every day, in venues ranging from the cathedral and civic hall to Beacon Park.
