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. |
Thank you to all the dancers who attended the 2013 festival, we are very grateful for your support and sincerely hope you enjoyed the experience.
Many thanks to the Callers & Bands for coming to perform for us.
We could not have had such a good time without you.
The KE kitchen team worked very hard to give us a good variety of tastey food throughout the weekend.

The report of the Set & Turn Single Focus Group for 2013:-
Lichfield, the shortest of the festivals, continues as the Blue Riband event, with the excellence in venues, organisation and artists. Nowhere in all the feedback was the slightest mention of anything negative except the observation that it is out of the town centre!
If you are not already on our email list and would like to be sent a reminder next January, about the 2014 Festival, please click on the "contact" at the bottom of the page.
Some of the details of the Refreshments of 2013 Festival will be left on the website to give an idea of what can be expected at the 2014 festival they will be removed as the site is updated as the menue is finalised.
There will not be a "Silent Auction" this year.

Last year's comments were very helpful!
