 From 2008 the country church series was relabelled as FEAST (Festival Events Around Staffordshire), with the scope for venues, beyond churches and beyond the traditional understanding of what a venue can be, to be brought into the Festival fold.Other events take place annually at Swinfen Hall Hotel, and within the city St Michael's church and St Chad's church are now regular venues.These events have tended to have a healthy bias towards chamber music and smaller recitals.
