Face to face with 'Gluttony'

Meet 'Gluttony' who has just been very kindly donated to the Mysteries. He was created by Cliff Vawda who  was well known locally for his sculptures, many of which have been displayed in Lichfield Cathedral. Cliff's work is made more remarkable as he was blind.  Gluttony was created for an exhibition of artwork inspired by Lichfield Mysteries which was displayed in various venues around the city at the time of the 2012 Mysteries. Cliff sadly passed away last year and we would like to say a big thank you to his wife for letting us have Gluttony -  you will be able to see him from time to time when we are at events and as part of future Mysteries art exhibitions. He's rather jolly so do come and say hello - in the photo he's having a ride in my car!

Lichfield Mysteries has a busy week

at the Crossroads, bible burlesque and the blues
Many thanks to everyone who came along to the Garrick and supported our production. Read a review here. It's been really exciting to create a brand new play and see it develop from initial conversations and ideas to performance. A big well done to the cast who worked really hard, contributed so many ideas -  and had lots of fun! We've made an excellent connection with Fired Up Theatre so are looking forward to more community arts collaborations in the future.

DMS Whittington Families Day

The new Defence Medical Services facility at Whittington was officially opened last week by the Duchess of Cornwall. As part of the celebrations a large number of local community groups and businesses had stalls to promote their work to the new service personnel and their families who are moving to Whittington. Aside from the torrential rain, we had a very jolly day and were very well looked after by the staff.

The rain did stop for Camilla!

The children enjoyed trying out our hats and costumes

Only two days to go
