Music & Theatre / Family / Festivals / Arts & Culture / Community Event Lichfield Arts Fuse Festival

Immerse yourself in a world of live music, dazzling performances, creative arts, and inclusive activities—all designed to bring people together.

As a not-for-profit festival, Fuse has been a proud initiative of Lichfield Arts since its inception in 2001. What began as a dream to provide free, live music and activities for all has blossomed into a beloved summer tradition that unites our community, supports the creative sector, provides opportunity for local businesses in the event industry, and generates income for the local economy.

Operated primarily by volunteers, Fuse has evolved into one of the largest events of its type in Staffordshire and the West Midlands with an average footfall of over 15,000.

We’re proud to say that Fuse Festival remained free entry in 2024. In a time when many festivals are succumbing to rising costs and increasing their ticket pricing, we are also feeling the heat. Our fixed costs have increased by 44% since 2019, but with the average festival ticket price now at £165, a price few can afford, we are working harder than ever to ensure this celebration of community, shared joy and love of live music and quality arts remains free, inclusive and accessible.

We can’t do it without the support of generous sponsors, funders and through donations from supporters like you! Your support is vital! Join us in making a positive difference today

We can’t wait to welcome you to Fuse 2025!
