Tracy Borman announced as Patron for Lichfield Festival

Lichfield Festival is delighted to announce its newest Patron, the author, Tudor historian, broadcaster and joint Chief Curator at Historic Royal Palaces, Tracy Borman.

Damian Thantrey, Lichfield Festival Director, said: “Tracy has been a regular and much-loved visitor to both our Literature and Summer Festivals in recent seasons, and we were very proud to have her as our Festival Writer/Historian in Residence in 2023. Despite her extremely busy and ever-growing career, she still always finds time to come to support our Festival – her every event is a guaranteed sell-out, and we are thrilled that she has agreed to become a Festival Patron.”

Tracy Borman said: “It is such an honour to be invited to become a Festival Patron and means a great deal to me, given how close the Festival – and the city – are to my heart. Lichfield Festival is already such a huge success, and I will look forward both to taking part in future events and shouting about it from the rooftops!”

Lichfield Festival’s four-day Literature Festival returns to the city from 21st-24th March with a fabulously full long weekend to celebrate the written word. There are best-selling authors from the worlds of history, politics, economics, the natural world and current affairs, plus new fiction, memoir and biography for Lichfield audiences to immerse themselves in.
