Theatre launches ticket appeal to spread festive joy
Lichfield Garrick Theatre is once again gearing up for a magical Christmas season with its ‘Christmas Ticket Appeal’.
And theatre is calling on businesses to support the appeal which allows those in the community who have faced adversity to attend the annual pantomime.
Since the inception of the initiative in 2017, more than 500 families have been able to attend the Garrick's pantomime, all thanks to the generosity of local firms.
"We believe in the power of the arts to uplift and heal, especially during the holiday season," says Daniel Buckroyd, artistic director and CEO at Lichfield Garrick Theatre.
“And we know that with the generous support of our local businesses, we can make a real difference to the lives of those in our community.”
Business sponsor Friary Shoes said of the scheme: “We wanted to get involved as it is a great opportunity to support a fabulous local venue and also give something back to the community, especially at this time of year, and we feel privilege to be able to support this.”
The Garrick is inviting all local businesses to become a part of the tradition by becoming a sponsor.
For more information contact Matt Clay, [email protected] or 01543 412123.
The appeal runs until 7 January, with suggested Business sponsorship from £150 +VAT.
Individuals can make a donation of any size online or through the Box Office.
Tickets will be distributed amongst local charities including Lichfield Foodbank, Spark Burntwood, Lichfield City of Sanctuary, Pathway Project, BLAST and One Lichfield.
