BBC WM GOES LIVE FROM LICHFIELD


Hairy Bikers visited Lichfield in July

 

A visit to Lichfield's ever-popular monthly Farmers' Market had an added attraction in July when the 'Hairy Bikers' roared into the City on motorbikes to film part of their new series on the Market Square.

And the Lichfield Farmers' Market will once again be in the 'limelight' on Thursday 6th August when it plays host to BBC WM's popular presenter Joanne Malin broadcasting her show 'Mornings with Joanne Malin' live from the historic Market Square between 09.30 am and 12 noon.

Joanne will be talking to various representatives from many of Lichfield's historic sites and tourist attractions as well as to a number of producers from the Farmers' Market. Why not come along to the Square, take a look at what's on offer on the Farmers' Market and have a chat with Joanne Malin, a friendly and welcoming radio presenter, or be in the background and watch as she broadcasts her live radio show. If that's not possible just tune in to BBC WM on 95.6FM and enjoy the show.
