Fuse needs a major sponsor
Admission to Fuse is free but it costs close to £30,000 pounds to put on. Lichfield Arts needs a major sponsor to keep this wonderful event going.
If you can help or know someone who can please get in touch.
Fuse kept going!
On a weekend when so many events were cancelled due to the appalling weather, and despite having to move sites on Thursday morning, because our normal site was waterlogged, Fuse ran virtually as programmed.
This is an amazing testament to the sheer hard work, dedication and tenacity of our awesome team of superhero volunteers.
A wonderful weekend was enjoyed by all with only a few showers.
Thanks to everyone who came and made it such a relaxed, friendly event with a wonderful atmosphere.
Here's to next year...

Become a Friend of Fuse...
Because Fuse is a free festival, for all the community to enjoy and participate in, we are always in need of funding help to keep it going.
Although much work is done by volunteers, and we work to get excellent value for the money we spend, Fuse costs over £25,000 each year to put on. This includes our outreach project in local schools and community groups.
For a minimum donation of £50 you will receive:
- A VIP parking pass enabling you to park adjacent to the Fuse site during the festival
- An invitation for you and a guest to a special reception to be held at Fuse
- A quality photograph taken of you and your guests at Fuse
