Christmas Gifting at Lichfield Garrick Theatre
With Christmas around the corner, we know that finding the perfect gift for your loved ones can sometimes be quite a challenge. This Christmas we've got you covered!
Sponsor a Seat at the Lichfield Garrick and celebrate that special person in your life, whether it's a family member, friend or loved one. Put them in the spotlight with a gift that will be displayed at the Garrick for years to come!
By dedicating a seat in our theatre, you'll be supporting our work as an arts charity; empowering local communities, spreading creativity and nurturing the next generation of theatre.
Your gift includes:
- your personalised dedication on a beautiful plaque, displayed on your sponsored seat for a minimum of ten years
- an official certificate
- a photograph with your seat and the chance to meet some of our theatre team members
"I'm Jono and lots of people call me Mr Lichfield, so when I saw there was an opportunity to sponsor a seat at the Garrick, I jumped at the opportunity! As a Lichfield historian I knew that I had to pay respect to the man who started it all: the 18th century actor and theatre manager David Garrick himself [...] My sponsorship also helps the Garrick with a number of community projects and I'm very proud to have my name listed alongside the man who gave his name to our wonderful theatre"
