Citylife in Lichfield November 2021

Lichfield
Christmas Fayre
WARNING: This event will fill you with vast amounts
...............................
of Christmas spirit!
Lichfield Christmas Fayre is back this year on Sunday 21st November
from 10am until 4pm. It’s located, as usual, on Market Square with a
lovely Christmas Market and this year the organiser has added a market
not only inside The Hub at St Mary’s Church, but also The Guildhall too!
It means, should it get a little cold, visitors can go inside for a warm
whilst admiring the inside of two absolutely stunning buildings that are
part of Lichfield’s great heritage.
Expect to find a large traditional Christmas market with beautiful
handmade gifts, tasty food, drinks and charitable stalls. The likes of
award-winning English Indian, Melbourne Coffee, Fifth Spire Gin,
Hunnypot Cottage Bakery, Pom’s Kitchen & Deli, and Brockleby’s Pies
are just a few of the food and drink offerings that can be found.
There will be lots of fantastic festive entertainment in the streets too
with such names as Lichfield Rock Choir, The Salvation Army Band,
Great Wyrley Community Band and, of course, we can’t have an event
in Lichfield without a Morris dancer or two!
The talented Jordan Adams will be performing inside The Guildhall
from 12 noon. Jordan is a familiar face in Lichfield having been featured
as the lead in four musical runs at the Lichfield Garrick Theatre and with
four single releases, one which was chosen as an official song in aid of
NSPCC.
Lichfield's Big Red Bike will also be offering free short trips to
Lichfield Cathedral during the event. This is a volunteer run charitable
organisation which help adults with limited mobility get out and about,
so why not treat yourself to a trishaw ride experience?
For the kids, there’s going to be a small fair ride and bungees however
there are also two very naughty Christmas elves threatening to cause
chaos on the day, and the organisers are appealing for help from all the
local children to keep them under control! Please refrain from feeding
them sweets because… anything could happen!
Lizzy Braine, Event Organiser, says: “We are so excited that Lichfield
Christmas Fayre is back this year! Everyone needs a good, fun
Christmas after the last couple of years and so this year we are going
for it! There’s a little something for everyone and it’s just such a lovely
family event. It’s free to come so why not bring your friends and family
to kick off Lichfield's festive season?”

Lichfield Christmas Fayre has been lovingly organised for over 50 years by
Lichfield Chamber of Trade & Commerce. The plan each year is to create
footfall in the city centre so the bars, restaurants as well as shops benefit.
Local businesses are encouraged to get involved. If you’d like more
