Lichfield Festival returns for it's 44th year in 2026. For 13 days this July, we will once again be bringing all kinds of music, dance, theatre, literature and comedy to venues across the City. Our diverse programme is packed with world class artists, new talent visiting for the first time and local voices.

If you are a Festival regular, you’ll be pleased to see the return of some of our favourite artists from previous years. And if you’re new to the Festival, we hope you’ll find something that you love that will bring you back year on year.
