Beat the January Blues in Lichfield
No big plans this month? This is your sign to eat, drink and stay local
January doesn’t have to mean long evenings in and an empty diary. If you’re easing back into routine after Christmas, keeping an eye on spending, or simply looking for a reason to get out of the house, Lichfield’s food, drink and hospitality scene has plenty to offer this month.
Across the city and district, local businesses are running January-only deals – perfect for a relaxed midweek meal, a casual catch-up over drinks, or even a cosy winter stay without the peak-season prices.
If your January is looking fairly quiet, here’s what’s on.
A winter stay without the splurge
The George Hotel
If you’re craving a change of scenery after the festive period, January is a great time to enjoy Lichfield at a slower pace. The historic George Hotel is offering 26% off stays throughout January, making it ideal for a midweek break or a relaxed weekend in the city.
Mindful drinking without missing out
The Inkwell
If you’re cutting back this January but still enjoy meeting friends for a drink, The Inkwell is offering a great alternative. Buy any full-price drink and receive a free no- or low-alcohol option, subject to availability.
