The money was handed over from Persimmon Homes’ community champions scheme.

A spokesperson for Lichfield Festival – which runs from 8th to 18th July – welcomed the donation.

> “We aim to provide a community event to inspire creativity through performance and participation, with diverse events ranging from dance to drama, classical music to comedy and folk to family workshops.  
>  
> “This year we are welcoming artists including Alistair McGowan, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Mica Paris, Eddi Reader, Ballet Cymru and the Grimethorpe Colliery Band.  
>  
> “Grants like this one from Persimmon Homes are essential for the festival’s success and we would welcome the support of other businesses.”
