Lichfield Proms to return this autumn

Music will grace Beacon Park this September, as organisers of the Lichfield Proms have confirmed that the event will return.

Musicians will take to the stage during the Lichfield Proms in Beacon Park on 4 September, which promises to be an evening of live music, picnics, singing and flag waving, topped off with a fireworks finale.

Now in its 22nd year, the line-up will see children 's activities and refreshments from 5.30pm, Eureka Jazz warm up the crowd as they find their places from 6pm, and the main concert by the British Police Symphony Orchestra from 7.30pm.

The free event organised by Lichfield District Council is supported by local companies and organisations, including Strongs Plastic Products Ltd, Prizm Solutions, Morespace 4 U, Lichfield Chamber of Trade & Commerce, Allen Brown Jewellery, Beacon Street Garage, The Best of Lichfield, Blueprint Designs, Grosvenor Shutters, C Residential, Wilcox Refinishers and Secret Garden.

Councillor Iain Eadie, Cabinet Member responsible for Parks, said: “I know everyone will be thrilled to see the return of Lichfield Proms in Beacon Park this summer.

"I would like thank all our sponsors, who are helping us make sure this event can continue to be free for everyone. I would also like to thank Cocker Hoop Creative, who are putting on the Ibiza Proms the evening before, for working alongside the council and contributing to the two days of proms in Beacon Park.

“We can 't wait to welcome everyone back to Beacon Park on the Saturday evening to enjoy a free night of music and the chance to come together outdoors with family and friends.

“With high levels of Covid cases, even though restrictions are now relaxed, we would still encourage audience members to use a face mask when moving around, use hand gel and help maintain a safe distance from your neighbours during the event. ”

Lichfield City Council is also supporting Lichfield Proms through grant funding.
