🎶 THE HILLS ARE ALIVE IN LICHFIELD! 🎶
One of the world’s best-loved musicals is heading to the Lichfield Garrick this September, as Lichfield Operatic Society presents Rodgers & Hammerstein’s timeless classic The Sound of Music. 🎭
And this production comes during a particularly special year for the Society, which is celebrating an incredible 130 years since it was founded in 1896.
Remarkably, this will only be the third time Lichfield Operatic Society has staged The Sound of Music, with its most recent production taking place back in 2013.
This time, Samantha Hedley takes on the iconic role of Maria, alongside Cameron Morgan as Captain von Trapp, with Shannon Robinson as Liesl, Leo Foetu-Foster as Rolf and Dawn Welch as Mother Abbess.
But there's a rather lovely family story happening behind the scenes — and on stage!
Several generations of the same families are appearing in the production, most notably Rosie Pilling as Louisa von Trapp, her mother Kate Pilling as Elsa, and grandparents Lynne and Dave Hill as Frau Schmidt and Franz. That's quite a family night out! ❤️
Of course, The Sound of Music brings with it one of musical theatre's most recognisable scores, including Do-Re-Mi, My Favorite Things, Climb Ev'ry Mountain and, naturally, The Sound of Music itself.
📅 Tuesday 15 – Saturday 19 September 2026
📍 Lichfield Garrick
🕢 Evenings 7.30pm | Saturday Matinee 2.30pm
🎟️ Tickets £25–£26.50, with under-12s £22 for the Saturday matinee.
Tickets can be booked through the Lichfield Garrick Box Office on 01543 412121 or online via the Garrick website.
130 years of Lichfield Operatic Society, multiple generations sharing the stage, and one of the greatest musicals ever written — this sounds like a rather special week at the Garrick. 🎶❤️

Flooring fitted in time for moving day! 🔑🏡
BRF Flooring was recently contacted at short notice by a customer preparing to move into her new-build apartment in Sutton Coldfield at the end of the month.
With an important deadline to meet, the team completed the necessary subfloor preparation before installing 50m² of contemporary wood-effect LVT throughout the entire apartment.
Using the same flooring across the different rooms creates a light, modern and continuous finish, perfectly complementing the clean interior of the new property.
Despite the short turnaround, everything was completed in time—and most importantly, the customer was delighted with her new flooring.
If you have a moving date, renovation deadline or new property that needs flooring, speak to BRF Flooring and discover how the team can help.

Perffect🎉 10 YEARS OF WHAT’S ON IN SUTTON COLDFIELD 🎉
Today we’re celebrating a rather special birthday…
Ten years ago, on 1st September 2016, What’s On In Sutton Coldfield began with one simple idea — to help people discoverwhat was happening in our wonderful town and to support the local businesses, organisations, charities and people who make Sutton Coldfield such a special place.
And somehow… ten years have passed! ❤️
Over that decade we've shared thousands of events, local stories, new openings, theatre productions, community celebrations and plenty of wonderful moments.
We've watched businesses open their doors, promoted countless local events, supported our theatres and performers, celebrated Sutton's successes and occasionally said a sad goodbye to some much-loved local names.
And we've been there with a camera too. 📸
Through Studio 55 Photography, we've had the privilege of photographing so many of the events and productions we've covered — capturing a little piece of Sutton Coldfield's story along the way.
But the biggest thank-you has to go to YOU.
To everyone who follows the page, sends us information, shares our posts, recommends us to friends, invites us along to events or simply stops us in town to say hello — thank you.
And to all the businesses, theatres, charities, community groups, event organisers and wonderful people we've worked with over the years, thank you for trusting us to tell your stories.
Ten years. Thousands of events. Thousands of photographs. One amazing community.
We're incredibly proud of what What’s On In Sutton Coldfield has become — and we're certainly not finished yet. 😉
🥂 Here's to the next ten years!
With a huge thank you from
