"The pantomime was wonderful, I kept the tickets a surprise from my three children until the day of the show, my eldest broke down in tears of joy - thank you so much for the tickets."
42% of parents in the UK with children under the age of 16 said they cannot afford to take their child to the theatre this year.* That’s enough to fill the Garrick for over 6,000 performances.
This year we are asking you, our generous local partners, to help young people who have experienced trauma, bereavement, illness, or who face financial barriers, to attend our pantomime.
Since 2017, we have raised money to give over 750 tickets to families and groups of young people via local charities, and with your help this year we can offer tickets to more people than ever.
You can join many others supporting our Big Ticket Appeal, and help us offer tickets to Lichfield Foodbank, Pathway Project, Spark Burntwood, Lichfield City of Sanctuary, and many other local charities. For many of these young people, it will be their first ever visit to the theatre.
ANY AMOUNT YOU CAN DONATE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE:
£20-£30 will provide one ticket for a young person to attend.
£100-£150 can provide a group of four to attend and with programmes and ice creams.
THANK YOU for making a difference!
If you have any questions, please contact Matt Clay, Director of Development on matthew.clay@lichfieldgarrick.com
