Lichfield... START YOUR ENGINES! 🏁🌈

Rugeley's very own Drag Superstar, KY KELLY, is a contestant on the brand new season of RuPaul's Drag Race UK. We couldn't be prouder to have such a talent flying the flag for Staffordshire. ✨👑

When Lichfield Pride called to arrange a special screening of the first episode, we said, "Shantay, you stay!" 💋

Join us from 6.30pm at the Garrick as we watch KY make Drag Race UK HERSTORY on the BIG SCREEN! And that's not all, 55 Bar on Wade Street will be slaying the house down with the official after party. 🍸Expect live music, entertainment, drag race themed cocktails, & discounted drinks for Watch Party ticket holders. 🪩

Our lovely theatre is quite the hub for community and creativity! 🤩

This year's Summer School cohort created an original piece that could rival some of the shows you see over at the Fringe! This year, it was all about humans vs AI. Through the power of dance and authenticity, you'll be pleased to know that nobody does creativity quite like a human being. 🤖

Thank you to our fantastic Community team, as well as all the incredible young people who attended with the wonderful support of parents and carers.

As we approach the final stretch of the summer holidays (yes, we're nearly there), check out what else the Garrick has to offer alongside Lichfield Family Hub: lichfieldgarrick.com/whatson 💻

⚠️ Did anyone else get the emergency alert on Friday?! ⚠️

Not only did it scare us more than a Garrick ghost sequence but ours seemed a bit different to the one everyone else got? 🤷‍♂️
