Doubts over funding have led to the cancellation of the 2015 Fuse festival in Lichfield – but organisers insist it will return.

[](//lichfieldlive.co.uk/2010/06/18/chance-for-artists-to-exhibit-work-at-lichfield-festival/fuselogo1-3/)Lichfield Arts made the announcement that the free community arts festival in Beacon Park would not go ahead next year.

As well as uncertainty over how the £30,000 needed to fund the event would be found, organisers also say an internal restructure has left a gap for a new voluntary co-ordinator for the festival.

Lichfield Arts president Brian Pretty said: “A number of factors have come together which mean we feel it is sensible to give Fuse a rest in 2015, but we will use the time this gives us to come back in 2016 with a revitalised, reinvigorated festival for all to enjoy.”

The organisation said it would continue to run community projects during 2015, including the Lichfield Festival of Folk and a new blues, jazz and community event in June.
