Arts and Heritage Procession
Saturday 20 October, 11.00am start at Lichfield Cathedral
Representatives of the myriad of art activities and heritage destinations in Lichfield District process through the city centre to showcase the fantastic heritage of the City. Accompanied by music and dance from around the region the costumed procession is a great spectacle and a photographer’s delight!
Starting at the Cathedral it makes its way down Dam Street through the market Square and onto the Brewhouse and Kitchen pub. Bring your smiles and your camera!
L2F Dancing in the City!

Many traditions of the British Isles, past and present, are represented in a fantastic display of dance and mummery! Great spectacle! Great fun!
