Lichfield Christmas Fayre

Join us at the Lichfield Christmas Fayre.

The annual Lichfield Christmas Fayre is a hugely popular festive market and wonderful day out organised and run by Lichfield Chamber of Trade and Commerce. Stalls filled with wonderful gifts, delicious treats and local brews spread through the city centre, attracting a high volume of footfall from Lichfield and the surrounding towns. Entertainment is provided throughout the day by local choirs and bands, Morris dancers and mischievous elves.

Follow us at @LichfieldChristmasFayre for updates and marketing before the event.

Volunteering at the Christmas Fayre

The Chamber is a non-profit organisation whose objective is to support and benefit local businesses in Lichfield. Pitch fees are used to fund the necessary costs of running the fayre, such as security and operating permits. The event is planned, organised and staffed completely by volunteers, including members of the Chamber, local business owners and organisations such as charities or Scout groups.

If you are a local charity or organisation and would like to volunteer at our next event, we would love to hear from you.
