Welcome to J’AIME<br />
We’ve got festival fever at J’AIME HQ this<br />
month as the annual spectacular that is the<br />
Lichfield Festival gets ready to descend on<br />
the city. This year’s Festival is packed with<br />
fantastic shows across the arts, and celebrates<br />
#extraordinarywomen with a series of<br />
events inspired by the centenary of votes for<br />
women. We chat to Festival director Damian<br />
Thantrey, and we’ve also got a pair of<br />
tickets for restaurant critic and Masterchef<br />
favourite Jay Rayner’s show My Dining Hell<br />
at the Garrick up for grabs.<br />
Speaking of extraordinary women, we<br />
also catch up with Lichfield’s latest gold<br />
medallist, netball star Beth Cobden, fresh<br />
from a historic victory as part of Team<br />
England at the Commonwealth Games.<br />
With Father’s Day just around the corner,<br />
our gift guide should give you plenty of ideas<br />
for treats for dad, plus we’ve got a special<br />
Father’s Day competition courtesy of Allen<br />
Brown Jewellery - to be in with a chance<br />
of winning a £150 voucher for a designer<br />
watch, just tell us why your dad deserves to<br />
win.<br />
Next month, look out for our bumper<br />
summer double edition, which is hugely<br />
exciting for us as it will also mark our first<br />
birthday. It’s hard to believe that J’AIME<br />
is already a year old, and we’ll have<br />
some fantastic competitions to celebrate<br />
our milestone, alongside our usual mix<br />
of entertaining features and the best in<br />
interiors, food and drink, entertainment,<br />
travel, fashion and more.<br />
There are also congratulations in order<br />
for our latest winner; Amy Poppitt, from<br />
Wimblebury, scooped the stylish fire pit from<br />
Skillcraft Products which featured in our<br />
April issue. We hope you enjoy the prize!<br />
