Lichfield Arts is a year-round cultural organisation delivering festivals, creative programmes, and community activity across Lichfield District. We support artists, develop creative pathways, and create accessible cultural experiences that bring people together.

Our impact is reflected not only in audience numbers, but in the opportunities we create for artists, the welcome we offer communities, and the shared experiences that strengthen connection to place.

Access and participation

We create welcoming, inclusive opportunities for people to take part in culture — through a mix of free, low-cost, and ticketed activity across a wide range of settings, from outdoor spaces and city-centre venues to village communities and rural locations.

Creative pathways

We support emerging artists and young people through programmes such as Emerging Talent and Future Leaders in Outdoor Arts, creating routes into skills development, performance opportunities, and the creative industries.

Place-based culture

Through local partnerships and community-led delivery, we ensure cultural activity happens across Lichfield District — not only in traditional venues, but in places where it can be most meaningful and accessible.

A vibrant cultural economy

Lichfield Arts contributes to the local creative economy by investing in artists, freelancers, venues, and suppliers, and by helping to increase footfall and activity linked to cultural attendance.

Get involved

There are lots of ways to be part of Lichfield Arts — whether as an audience member, volunteer, partner, artist, or supporter.
