Welcome to Lichfield Mysteries Community Arts

Lichfield Mysteries Community Arts facilitates and encourages involvement in the arts through dramatic performances, including the Lichfield Mysteries, and other artistic activities - and we're always looking for new ideas and opportunities.

 Our group brings together the talent and enthusiasm of community groups and hundreds of local volunteers in the Lichfield Mystery Plays and many other arts activities.

 Join us and be part of something amazing!

  Lichfield Mystery Plays are a community-based arts project. Every third year we perform on each of two days, 27 short medieval plays, each produced by a different local group, interpreted for the 21st century
