The Spark's first Open Mic Night

On Bank Holiday Sunday, The Spark held it's first live music event in the form of an Open Mic Night. Our stage was christened as musicians of many genres came to show us what they can do, all contributing to the chilled-out vibe with their acoustic sets. In fact, with the atmosphere, food, wine and music, it felt more like we were in a side-street cafe in Paris, rather than the centre of Lichfield! The night finished with a set by Chloe and Tom from Chloe and The Tomcats, who had been gigging elsewhere, but made it back to treat us. Thank you to everyone who came - look out for the next date which will be towards the end of September.

Launch Night

Monday was our Launch Night and we were pleased to see the place full for the first time. The fizz was top notch, as were the canapés prepared by our chefs, Gavin and John. Rich Spencer from LichLIVE took some fabulous pics - take a look!

The team behind The Spark

One of our main principles is to create a warm and friendly neighbourhood hang-out where people of all ages can meet and socialise. So, with that in mind, it's time for you to get to know the team behind The Spark!

Della and Sejal  first met whilst working as teachers at the same school. They decided to go into business together to try something different. After pondering what they could do, they realised they could combine the things they already enjoy - eating out, coffee and socialising. Della's interest in cooking and Sejal's in arts and crafts meant that they had lots of ideas to consider. And so, The Spark was born and, having gone through many revisions, the concept was rounded out to the one you read today.

When you pop in make sure you say hello!

The countdown begins....

Today in two weeks time, we will officially be open! Tuesday 16th August is our first day of trading and in the lead-up, we'll be letting you know more about us and what we will offer to Lichfield.

In the meanwhile, if you haven't walked past us yet, here's what we look like with our new sign.

14 days to go!
