Councillor Ian Pritchard, Cabinet Member for Economic Growth, Environment & Development Services, said: “Lichfield Heritage Weekend is a chance to visit local places of interest that may not always be open to the public and to enjoy special activities and events at city visitor attractions. There’s something for all ages, and many of the activities are free, so it’s a great opportunity to enjoy a day out in Lichfield.”
