For almost 50 years, the Lichfield Festival of Music has been a cornerstone of amateur music-making in the local community. Each year we welcome hundreds of performers, teachers, families and audience members, creating a vibrant celebration of music across the city.
As we approach our 50th anniversary, we are inviting local businesses and individuals to partner with us as Festival Sponsors.
