Lichfield Garrick has unveiled plans for a major refurbishment of its front-of-house areas including box office, bars and toilets.

To mark the culmination of the theatre’s 20th anniversary year, the Garrick has been working with a team of designers to develop plans that “respond to customers’ feedback and reinforce the venue’s reputation as one of the most welcoming theatres in the West Midlands”.

Lichfield Garrick chief executive and artistic director Daniel Buckroyd said, “we simply couldn’t have done this without the continued support of our audiences from across Lichfield and beyond. We can’t wait to welcome them and new audiences to the venue to experience a brighter, more comfortable, more accessible welcome than ever when the project is completed this autumn.”

The theatre has now closed and will reopen on Saturday 31 August for the start of its autumn season.

“These improvements are about making the Garrick a place where people can experience special moments and create lasting memories with their friends and family,” Buckroyd added.
