A charity shop in Lichfield is marking a major milestone this month as it celebrates its 40th anniversary.
To mark four decades of being in the city centre, the St Giles Hospice shop on 17 Tamworth Street, Lichfield, is hosting a special 1980s-themed celebration, inviting customers, supporters, and the local community to join in the party.
Since opening its doors in 1986, the shop has played a vital role in raising funds for St Giles Hospice, helping to provide end of life care and support for patients, and loved ones, across the region.
The anniversary event will take place at the shop over the weekend, during its usual opening hours, from Friday 27th March to Saturday 28th March, 9am to 5pm, and Sunday 29th March 10am to 4pm. Fancy dress is encouraged, and the event will feature retro music, themed decor, and a range of games with lots of prizes on offer.
The shop offers a wide range of pre-loved items, including clothing, alongside books, homeware, kitchen items, jewellery, antiques, and a variety of bric-a-brac.
Lorraine Ward, Retail Regional Manager at St Giles Hospice, said: “We are incredibly proud to celebrate 40 years of serving the Lichfield community. This milestone wouldn’t be possible without the amazing support from our staff, volunteers, supporters, donors and customers. Our 80s-themed celebration is a way to say thank you and bring everyone together for a weekend of fun.”
The shop is inviting everyone to come along and celebrate 40 years — so why not dress up and be part of the 80s-themed festivities!
