day one.two

staging is coming in after successful get in to the cathedral last night, and the wine tents are going up on the South West lawn. For the first time, Worth Brothers, wine merchants who run their business from amazing and ancient cellars just outside the Cathedral Close, will be running the Wine Tents after nearly three decades of dedicated, behind-the-scenes work from the Lichfield Festival Association Wine Committee. Even if people are not going to come to a concert, I would strongly recommend swinging by any evening from 6.30pm for some excellent wine (and food provided by nearby Doveston's). If you happened to swing by between 7.30 and 9.30 on Wednesday 15 July, they'll be doing summer wine tastings for £5 a head.
