Saturday 16 June 2012 at 7.30pm

Owing to high demand, the Lichfield Garrick has released extra tickets for the Jubilee Proms Concert this summer. So why not bring a picnic, kick off your shoes and let the wonderful sounds of two orchestras and two choirs, wash over you on the West lawn of the Cathedral? You could also enjoy the great tradition of the patriotic British Proms concert seated within the medieval building itself with more tickets now available. The concert will be raising funds for the Cathedral’s East End Appeal.

Patricia Collins, Director of Fundraising at Lichfield Cathedral said:
“We are delighted that seats, both inside and out, are selling like hot cakes – the more people here the greater the celebratory atmosphere will be and the more raised for the Cathedral’s East End Appeal”.
