Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Terms & Conditions of my membership?
You can view our Terms & Conditions here.
How many people does my membership cover?
All our memberships are for two people, except for the Friends' Circle for One which is for one person.
You do not have to tell us the name of the second person and you can bring a different guest to every event if you wish. However, you are welcome to put your membership in two names if you would like to always use the membership together.
Do I receive a membership card?
You will automatically receive a digital membership card to use to claim your discount at our bars. This will display your name and expiry date. If you would prefer a physical membership card, or do not have a smart phone with a wallet function then this is absolutely fine - you just need to request this at box office or by emailing memberships@lichfieldgarrick.com.
Priority Patrons (formerly Patrons Circle) do not require a membership card as all benefits are automated.
How do I find out about exclusive Members' Events?
We will contact you each season with a round-up of your exclusive events and any priority access to book new shows. We will also email you with any additional events.
Can I pay for my membership monthly?
All our memberships (except Priority Patrons) are available for monthly subscription both online or via our box office, you will just need to make sure you tick the 'auto renew' option to ensure your membership rolls from month to month.
Some benefits covering free ticket benefits for monthly memberships only apply after six months of continuous renewals.
Why does the price include a donation?
The price is split between the cost of your quantified benefits (such as discounts, free items and fee savings) from which the Theatre is charged VAT, and a donation to support our various projects on which we can claim Gift Aid if applicable.
You will be asked to fill out a short Gift Aid declaration when your purchase your membership, so we can claim an extra 25% on top of your donation from the government if you are a UK Tax Payer.
More information on how this is applied can be found here.
Can I purchase the membership without a donation?
All quantified benefits are available for purchase without a donation. Please get in touch on 01543 412123 or contact us if you wish to do so.
Can I donate more than the included amount?
Absolutely, you can add a donation at the checkout when you purchase your membership.
What will my donation go towards?
The donation goes towards helping our Young Garrick youth theatre programme participants, audiences who attend our BSL-interpreted and Relaxed Performances, offering workshops and work placements for young people and producing top quality shows made in Lichfield. You can read more about how your donation helps here.
As a registered charity (1147697), we also fundraise to keep ourselves sustainable and make sure our building is welcoming and accessible for our audiences and participants.
