Spring guided tours of Lichfield on offer to celebrate Mother's Day

The range of tours include: exploring the history of Lichfield's saints, a literature tour, a look around the buildings in Cathedral Close, Georgian Gems revealing Georgian history and architecture and a Women's History Tour to celebrate Mothering Sunday, with refreshments available in Erasmus Darwin House.

Councillor Iain Eadie, cabinet member for investment, economic growth and tourism, said: "We are really pleased with our line-up of spring tours which has something for everyone. From the intrigues of saints to the women who have helped shape Lichfield, there is so much local history to find out.

"We hope plenty of families will book onto our Women’s History Tour on Mother’s Day so they can spend some quality time with their mothers celebrating women of the past and present.

"With the signs of spring on the way, the tours offer a gentle stroll through our picturesque city and parks, while finding out lots of interesting facts along the way."
