Sponsorships

Sponsorships at Lichfield Garrick Theatre

As a charity the generosity of sponsors, trusts, and foundations enables us to carry out our community outreach and to enrich the communities around us both within and outside of the theatre. Together, we're making a meaningful difference, and we’re honoured to work with sponsors who share our vision for a world where the arts are accessible to all, creativity is encouraged and celebrated and no person is ever left behind.

How does sponsorship work?

There are many opportunities to sponsor an event or space at Lichfield Garrick, and we can offer some exciting promotional opportunities in return. We aim to agree a bespoke package for you to get the most out of your sponsorship depending on what is important to you and the level of support you can give.

All sponsors are recognised on our website and in our pantomime programme with exposure to our 30,000+ audience across socials and website. Sponsors of £150 or more will receive two tickets to our pantomime.

What can you sponsor?

We’d love to explore ideas and come up with a creative package that will fit your business aims and identity. If you have any specific ideas of where you would like to support us then please do get in touch with us. Our current and past sponsors have sponsored a range of projects and events from our BSL-interpreted shows, to our Big Ticket Appeal giving young people facing barriers the gift of pantomime to specific performances; the opportunities are endless!

Why become a Lichfield Garrick sponsor?

Your sponsorship can contribute towards:

• Providing free or subsidised tickets or venue space hire for community groups
• Providing funded places for our youth theatre programme
• Taking our work out into the community and local schools to provide creative opportunities and access through workshops and other activities 
• Opening live experiences to new audiences with access performances and behind the scenes tours
• Improving and maintaining our theatre building, to offer the best possible environment for our visitors
• Create in-house, high-quality theatre and provide artistic opportunities and employment

Examples of larger projects you can sponsor:

Big Ticket Appeal

Our relaunched Christmas ticket appeal allows us to give young people who face any emotional, physical or financial barriers to experience the magic of Christmas and pantomime with free tickets to the #GarrickPanto. With the generous support of local businesses and organisations every year, we are able to help more and more young people and their families.

The Pocket Dream

Our next in-house production will take to the main house stage in April 2025 and is directed by our Chief Executive and Artistic Director. 

Pantomime 2025

This is a significant opportunity for headline sponsorship of our biggest event of the year. Over 35,000 people came to our pantomime in 2023/24, with the figure growing every year and there some really creative ways your business can be involved.  

Creative Burntwood

We would love to hear from businesses who would like to make a difference to the cultural landscape in Burntwood. We are currently in the stages of developing the provision of cultural activity in Burntwood, predominantly through our partnership with Burntwood Town Council, as well as several additional outreach and partnership activities.

Farm Boy National Tour

This Lichfield Garrick production will hit the road in 2025 with a national tour, following a successful run of performances at the Garrick and a small local tour in 2024. Join us in promoting this home-grown production in cities across the United Kingdom.
