It’s great to see that lockdown has eased a little and that people are able to get out and about more.

We’re very lucky to be spoilt for choice <strong>in</strong> <strong>Lichfield</strong> when it comes to eat<strong>in</strong>g out, and we’ve taken part <strong>in</strong> a lot of delicious d<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g experiences from some of the best <strong>in</strong> the area, putt<strong>in</strong>g together a veritable feast of <strong>in</strong>formation about what, where and when to enjoy a meal <strong>in</strong> and around the city. As your local community lifestyle magaz<strong>in</strong>e we’re packed with the same great news stories, history articles and fasc<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g features to let you know what’s go<strong>in</strong>g on <strong>in</strong> and around the area this month. Enjoy and Cheers Everyone!
