Lichfield Folk Festival's base plus its adjacent caravan site are located on Borrowcop Hill, which is one of three, which overlook this attractive cathedral city .The camp site itself is adjacent to the extensive playing fields of the old King Edward VI Grammar School. As such, it offers a near rural setting, within the city, on its south side, and faces towards the vale of the river Trent.

 

Some of the details of the Refreshments of 2014 Festival will be left on the website to give an idea of what can be expected at the 2015 festival they will be removed as the site is updated  as the menu is finalised.

Suggestions

If you have any suggestions for the improvement of our future festivals please let Freddie have them.
Last year's comments were very helpful!

Free Car Parking

There will be plenty of car-parking - please note that no car park barriers will come down during the Festival (except to secure the camp-site at night), so you can use any of the car parks without fear of being stranded.
