Space Invasion Weekend
Prepare for visitors from outer space in a mass take-over of Lichfield city centre!
Stand by for action as we welcome a host of costumed characters from the worlds of film and TV sci-fi. Look out for these well-known characters on the streets of Lichfield and in and around The Hub at St Mary’s. But beware – you may come face to face with an alien invader or an Imperial Stormtrooper..!
And whether you’re a child or an adult who doesn’t want to grow up, why not join in the fun by dressing up yourself? It doesn’t matter who or what you come as – just let your imagination run wild! Your best fancy dress, or your favourite sci-fi character – anything goes! Just make sure to pop into The Hub where there’ll be a small free gift for all children in costume!
