Comedian Zoe Lyons heads to Lichfield Festival
The stand-up comedian Zoe Lyons, host of BBC2 's Lightning and Live at the Apollo, and QI and Mock the Week regular, will be heading to Lichfield Festival this year.
With the event sure to be a sell-out, the festival is also offering a great opportunity for Chamber members to get involved, raise brand awareness and support the local community through sponsorship.
Lichfield Festival 's 40th anniversary celebrations will open on Thursday 7 July with a concert by pop icon and Festival patron Tony Hadley.
Other incredible headliners at this year 's Festival, taking place from 7 - 17 July, include singer/songwriter Ayanna Witter-Johnson, Ballet Cymru, folk group The Longest Johns, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, and jazz coupling James Pearson, artistic director at Ronnie Scott 's, and Lizzie Ball.
Widely-recognised and featured across national and local media, including BBC Radio 3 and BBC Midlands Today, the Festival is expected to attract over 30,000 people this year.
Caroline King, head of development at the Lichfield Festival, said: “As an arts charity, post-pandemic, we are hugely grateful for such wonderful support from our corporate sponsors, including Florette, Pegasus Group, Roxane UK (Aqua Pura), EQUANS and our new 2022 Principal Festival Sponsor, McArthurGlen Designer Outlet West Midlands, which allow us to continue to inspire creativity in the community ”.
“If you want your marketing budget to go further and really engage your target market, please contact me on caroline.king@lichfieldfestival.org All sponsors get a number of complimentary tickets so be prepared for Zoe to split your sides.
"And if comedy 's not quite the right fit, there are still a few other opportunities for 40th anniversary sponsorship including the Festival 's inaugural Midlands Choir of the Year Competition, Paperback Theatre 's family-friendly “The Wind in the Willows ”, or something to get the cogs whirring as in Dr Nira Chamberlain 's multi-media talk on the role of mathematics and Artificial Intelligence in today 's world ”.
If you would just like to make a donation and support the Festival, all qualifying corporate charitable donations are entitled to tax relief.
