A LOCAL theatre has unveiled a number of improvements following a revamp project.
The Lichfield Garrick began work in July and has seen enhancements to the front-of-house areas including box office, bars and toilets, and accessibility improvements.
An event to mark the reopening saw community groups, sponsors, partners and members given a first glimpse of the changes.
Daniel Buckroyd, the venue’s chief executive and artistic director, said:
“We’re thrilled to have been able to undertake this major refurbishment of the Garrick, improving comfort and accessibility, adding extra bars and toilet facilities and opening up flexible new spaces for audiences and community activities.
“If you haven’t visited recently, we’d love you to come in, have a coffee, see a show and discover the warmest welcome in Lichfield.”
The refurbishment came after what the theatre described as a “fantastic performance at the box office following the Covid lockdowns.
Other improvements included the Cafe Bar – formerly the Green Room Cafe – which is open to the public from 10am to 2pm from Monday to Saturday.

Pleased to see this, The Garrick was looking very Tired.
We have avoided the Theatre for quite some time. Travelling to Birmingham.
Hopefully quality of Performances will improve too.
The Garrick is a wonderful venue the staff and management are really nice people and very professional. The new make over is absolutely excellant as are the shows they put on, there is something for everyone. The Garrick is well and truely on the map now with big stars now asking to appear there.
Cannot fault this venue in anyway an absolute pleasure to go there.
Looks bare inside hopefully will get some pictures/atmosphere soon. Also very bright in parts. An improvement but still some way to go. Programming is still 1 night tribute bands of variable quality, galore which must be selling – but not for us.
