Lichfield Bower

One of Staffordshire’s longest-running and most loved traditions returns this Spring as Lichfield Bower takes over the city on Bank Holiday Monday.

Dating back centuries, Lichfield Bower is a unique community celebration combining colourful procession, live entertainment, fairground rides, food and drink, family activities and a vibrant carnival atmosphere across the city centre and Beacon Park.

The day begins with the famous Bower procession through the streets of Lichfield, featuring schools, community groups, charities, performers and local organisations before the celebrations continue throughout the day with live music, entertainment and activities for all ages.

Visitors can enjoy:

• Traditional fairground rides and attractions
• Street entertainment and performances
• Food and drink stalls
• Family activities
• Live music and community performances
• A lively city-wide atmosphere

The event forms part of a packed bank holiday weekend in Lichfield, alongside Purple Flag Weekend celebrations taking place across the city centre with live music, themed cocktails, trails and activity in venues throughout the weekend.

Whether you’re visiting for the procession, spending the day in Beacon Park or exploring the city centre, Lichfield Bower is one of the highlights of the city’s events calendar and a fantastic day out for all ages.

Admission to the Bower is free.

Please note road closures and parking restrictions will be in place throughout the day. Visitors are encouraged to plan ahead and use public transport where possible.
