A free weekend food and drink festival in Lichfield city centre each spring, with more than 100 stalls.

Lichfield District Council's spring festival brings more than 100 stalls of artisan produce, street food, sweet treats and drink to the city centre over a weekend in May. The 2026 edition used a more spacious layout designed to make it safer and more comfortable to get around.

For 2026 the council offered fully funded pitches for eligible new and local traders and small grants for community groups and charities to run fringe performances, workshops and demonstrations. It is a sister event to the larger summer festival over the August bank holiday.
