The show will go on for the Lichfield Festival despite the traditional July showcase being cancelled due to coronavirus.

Festival director Damian Thantry said a series of “bespoke online events” had been created to ensure local arts fans were still able to enjoy a range of performances.

The 2020 schedule had to be axed in May after concerns about the COVID-19 crisis.

Mr Thantry said:

> “We didn’t want the 2020 July Festival to disappear without trace, so we decided that if you weren’t able to come to us, we would come to you with a series of bespoke online events for your to enjoy at home, largely featuring artists and creators who would have been with us this summer.  
>  
> “It may not be the way people would usually engage with us – or with the arts – but please do log on and see what this alternative festival year has to offer.  
>  
> “All of our content has been created especially for our very special Lichfield Festival audience.”  
>  
> Damian Thantry, Lichfield Festival

As well as specially-commissioned content, the festival will also be signposting people to live performances by artists who were due to appear this year.
